Bridging the Gap to Adult Diabetes Care

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes face particular challenges related to having a chronic illness that requires daily intensive self-management and medical follow-up during a period when their social, developmental, educational, and family situations are in flux. When transitioning from pediatric to adult care, over a third of youth have a care gap of >6 months. During this vulnerable period youth are at risk for acute life-threatening complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis, and for poor glycemic control, which confers an increased risk of chronic diabetes complications. Gaps in care may be a result of deficiencies in transition processes causing some young people to be poorly prepared for adult care and dissatisfied with the transition process. Ineffective transition can lead to decreased frequency of diabetes visits and an increased risk of adverse events in young adulthood. Further, risk factors such as psychiatric comorbidity and behavioural problems in adolescents with type 1 diabetes are associated with poor outcomes in early adulthood. Quality improvement initiatives can be designed to optimize care processes such as referral systems to adult diabetes providers. Our overall objective is to optimize care and outcomes for youth with diabetes as they transition to adult care. Specific Aim 1: To improve glycemic control in youth around the time of transition from pediatric to adult diabetes care Specific Aim 2: To evaluate the fidelity and quality of a quality improvement intervention designed to improve transition care processes and to identify contextual factors associated with variation in outcomes.
