项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To achieve good glycemic control families of young children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) must adhere to a well-designed and rigorous treatment regimen. Unfortunately, our research program has published data showing that many young children have glucose levels that exceed pediatric targets and show a high rate of glucose variability. By virtue of their age, size, and developmental status, young children with T1D face many unique challenges to adherence (i.e., increased insulin sensitivity, unpredictable physical activity and food intake, oppositional behavior). We've also identified other barriers to good glycemic control, including mealtime behavior problems, child defiance, and parental stress and fear of hypoglycemia. In order to address these barriers and improve children's glycemic control, we created and tested a parent-based behavioral-nutrition intervention, BEST MEALS. Initial results suggest a mean decrease of 26 mg/dl in young children's daily glycemic levels without increasing hypoglycemia. Building on this success and in response to parents' requests for more assistance delivered in a flexible format that matches their busy lives, in this new study we propose to substantially advance our BEST MEALS intervention through three new design features: 1) new treatment content addressing additional domains of T1D self-care (i.e., insulin use, parental hypoglycemia fear), 2) new child-focused and developmentally targeted treatment content allowing for a family-focused approach and learning activities appropriately matched to each young child's stage of development and readiness to engage in learning about T1D (i.e., helping out with T1D self-care), and 3) a mHealth delivery format using video-based microlectures accessible via the internet to increase scalability and personalized weekly progress reports emailed to families to reinforce the positive changes they make to their child's T1D self-care and glycemia. Thus, our current aims include: 1) to develop DIPPer Academy (Diabetes Information for Parents of Preschoolers), a family-focused mHealth behavioral intervention to promote glycemic control and adherence in young children, 2) to assess relevance, engagement, feasibility, and acceptability of DIPPer Academy through a family-centered iterative design scheme, and 3) to explore the initial efficacy of DIPPer Academy using a randomized, wait-list control design. The project is significant because it directly addresses the limited availability of developmentally-targeted behavioral interventions for families of young children with T1D and proposes to use mHealth to deliver DIPPer Academy thereby making it easier for families to access the treatment and easier to disseminate to other diabetes centers. It is innovative in its plan to include child- focused and developmentally-targeted treatment content in addition to parent treatment content, two treatment tracks based on child age (Li'l DIPPer for children <3 years old and Big DIPPer for 3-5 year olds), and in its plan to use a mHealth delivery format. We expect DIPPer Academy, developed and pilot-tested in this study, will have public health significance by improving health outcomes for young children with T1D.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了实现 1 型糖尿病 (T1D) 幼儿的良好血糖控制，家庭必须坚持精心设计和严格的治疗方案，不幸的是，我们的研究项目公布的数据显示，许多幼儿患有糖尿病。血糖水平超过儿科目标并表现出较高的血糖变异率由于年龄、体型和发育状况，患有 T1D 的幼儿面临着许多独特的依从性挑战（即胰岛素敏感性增加、不可预测的体力活动和食物）。我们还发现了良好血糖控制的其他障碍，包括进餐时间行为问题、儿童反抗以及父母的压力和对低血糖的恐惧。为了解决这些障碍并改善儿童的血糖控制，我们创建并测试了这些障碍。基于家长的行为营养干预，BEST MEALS 的初步结果表明，在这一成功的基础上，幼儿的每日血糖水平平均降低了 26 毫克/分升，并且没有增加低血糖发生率。为了满足家长要求以灵活的形式提供更多帮助以适应他们忙碌生活的要求，在这项新研究中，我们建议通过三个新的设计特点大幅推进我们的“最佳膳食”干预措施：1) 针对 T1D 自我护理的其他领域的新治疗内容（即胰岛素的使用、父母对低血糖的恐惧），2) 新的以儿童为中心和以发展为目标的治疗内容，允许采取以家庭为中心的方法和学习活动，与每个幼儿的发展阶段和学习 T1D 的准备情况适当匹配（即帮助 T1D 自我护理），以及 3) 移动医疗交付形式，使用可通过互联网访问的基于视频的微讲座来提高可扩展性，并通过电子邮件向家庭发送个性化的每周进展报告，以强化他们对孩子的 T1D 做出的积极改变因此，我们当前的目标包括：1) 开发 DIPPer Academy（学龄前儿童家长糖尿病信息），这是一种以家庭为中心的移动健康行为干预措施，旨在促进血糖控制和血糖控制。幼儿的依从性，2) 通过以家庭为中心的迭代设计方案评估 DIPPer Academy 的相关性、参与度、可行性和可接受性，以及 3) 使用随机、等待名单控制设计探索 DIPPer Academy 的初步功效。该项目意义重大，因为它直接解决了 T1D 幼儿家庭针对发育的行为干预措施的有限性，并提议利用移动健康来提供 DIPPer Academy，从而使家庭更容易获得治疗并更容易传播与其他糖尿病中心相比，它的计划具有创新性，除了家长治疗内容外，还包括以儿童为中心和针对发育的治疗内容，根据儿童年龄提供两种治疗轨道（针对<3岁儿童的Li'l DIPPer和Big DIPPer）。 3-5 岁儿童），并计划使用 mHealth 交付形式，我们预计在本研究中开发和试点测试的 DIPPer Academy 将通过改善 1 型糖尿病幼儿的健康结果而具有公共卫生意义。
