- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: A parallel two-group design will be used to evaluate the intervention among n=150 young adults randomly assigned to the peer support intervention or usual care (1:1). All young adults are randomized to either an intervention group, in which they all receive the same treatment in addition to usual diabetes care, or a control group, in which they receive usual diabetes care without the additional intervention. Young adult participants will be in the study for 12 months. Peer Mentor participants (up to n=36) will deliver the intervention to young adults randomized to the intervention group, and their outcomes related to being a Peer Mentor will also be evaluated pre-post.Masking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)Masking Description: Participants will be aware of their assignment to intervention or control, as will the investigators. However, the person collecting HbA1c (primary outcome) at baseline and follow-up (12 mo) will not be aware of the participant's assignment in the intervention.Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
Participation Requirements

DiaBetter Together is a strengths based peer support intervention delivered to young adults (age 17-25) by trained Peer Mentors (age 20-35) during the transition between pediatric and adult diabetes care. The study aims to optimize transition in T1D by leveraging and building on young adults' diabetes strengths, self-management skills, and social supports. This intervention will maximize protective processes that can facilitate optimal transition by training Peer Mentors (experienced young adults with T1D who have successfully established care in an adult setting) to provide relevant information about successful transition, teach strengths-based skills for managing transition-related challenges, share personal transition-related experiences, encourage young adults to access their social support network, and serve as a positive role model. Delivery of these strengths-based intervention components through a Peer Mentor has potential to reduce isolation, increase access to relevant information, and facilitate engagement with self-management and T1D care. This intervention is a complement to existing systems of care for young adults with T1D for 12 months as they leave the pediatric setting.
