Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Non-Medical Transition Coordinator: Participants in this intervention arm will have access to the non-medical transition coordinator to support their transition from pediatric to adult care.

Study summary

The goal of this interventional study is to assess the effects and evaluate the implementation of a pediatric to adult care transition intervention in youth with T1D on clinical, patient-reported, and implementation outcomes, including an economic analysis.

The 3 main aims are:

1. To assess the effects of our transition intervention on clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
2. To implement the transition intervention and evaluate the implementation outcomes.
3. To evaluate the economic impacts of the transition intervention. Participants will have access to a transition coordinator before, during, and after their planned transition from pediatric to adult care as standard of care.

Researchers will compare a pre-intervention cohort to evaluate the impact of the transition coordinator intervention.
