This trial evaluated the efficacy of DiaBetter Together, a 12-month strengths-based behavioral intervention delivered by trained peer mentors. The intervention aimed to help young adults navigate the transfer process to promote optimal glycemic outcomes, shorten time to adult care follow-up, and improve psychosocial outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using a single-site randomized clinical trial design, we compared the 12-month intervention to usual care among n = 100 young adults aged 17\u201325 years with type 1 diabetes following completion of pediatric diabetes care. Outcomes were measured at baseline and 6 and 12 months. The primary outcome was HbA1c, and secondary outcomes included person-reported psychosocial outcomes, self-management behaviors, and time to adult care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were no statistically significant differences between study arms in HbA1c, self-management behaviors, or transfer to adult care. Significant differences in diabetes-specific health-related quality of life and diabetes distress between groups at 12 months favored the intervention arm. Intervention satisfaction was high.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DiaBetter Together produced modest benefits for psychosocial outcomes during the challenging transfer period, although glycemic, behavioral, and transfer improvements remain difficult to achieve. Reduced sample size due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic may have limited power to detect significant outcomes between groups and impacted outcomes. Peer mentor\u2013based support may be useful to support young adults during transition to adult care, although additional intervention components are likely warranted to improve clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2337\/dc26-0395","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]],"date-time":"2026-05-27T14:51:13Z","timestamp":1779893473000},"page":"1357-1365","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["DiaBetter Together: Outcomes of a Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating a Peer Mentor Behavioral Intervention for Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes During the Transfer From Pediatric to Adult Care"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8813-629X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marisa E.","family":"Hilliard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Psychology, Baylor College of Medicine 1 , Houston, TX"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Psychology, Texas Children\u2019s Hospital 2 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles G.","family":"Minard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, Baylor College of Medicine 3 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samantha A.","family":"Carreon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Psychology, Baylor College of Medicine 1 , Houston, TX"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Psychology, Texas Children\u2019s Hospital 2 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wendy L.","family":"Levy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Psychology, Baylor College of Medicine 1 , Houston, TX"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Psychology, Texas Children\u2019s Hospital 2 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3686-0112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah K.","family":"Lyons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrinology, Baylor College of Medicine 4 , Houston, TX"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrinology, Texas Children\u2019s Hospital 5 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8535-8444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Randi","family":"Streisand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Psychology and Behavioral Health, Children\u2019s National Hospital 6 , Washington, DC"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, George Washington University School of Medicine 7 , Washington, DC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0105-1390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tricia S.","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia 8 , Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siripoom V.","family":"McKay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrinology, Baylor College of Medicine 4 , Houston, TX"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrinology, Texas Children\u2019s Hospital 5 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sridevi","family":"Devaraj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Immunology, Division of Pathology, Baylor College of Medicine 9 , Houston, TX"},{"name":"Texas Children\u2019s Microbiome Center, Texas Children\u2019s Hospital 10 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara J.","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Psychology, Baylor College of Medicine 1 , Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026072014523614700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"469","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.55.5.469","article-title":"Emerging adulthood.
