Catherine Stanger, PhD, has been awarded a 5 year grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to test the effectiveness of innovative behavioral intervention tools in helping to improve the health of high-risk patients who suffer from Type 1 diabetes. The project, Thinking Outside the Clinic: A Digital Health Approach for Young Adults with Type 1 Diabetes, addresses a key public health issue with broad applicability to many diseases and health behaviors: how to help people follow a complicated medical regimen and achieve better health outcomes.
