‘SweetGoals: Could Incentives and Coaching Help Young Adults with Type 1 Diabetes?’ (Dartmouth Health and Geisel School of Medicine giving – December 13, 2024 – Full Article)
Article Excerpt: “Type 1 diabetes is often one of the most challenging chronic conditions to manage, and young people face unique obstacles when transitioning from pediatric to adult medical care,” says Catherine Stanger, PhD, professor of psychiatry and of biomedical data science at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and a faculty member at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) at Dartmouth. “There are lots of things people with type 1 diabetes have to do every day for self-management, especially tracking carbs.”
“The goal of this large clinical SweetGoals trial is to demonstrate powerful efficacy of these interventions and allow us to move to dissemination and implementation,” Stanger says. “There are a number of stages to this kind of work. SweetGoals is the result of a decade of work developed from smaller pilot studies and grants.”
