Alternative care models are needed to address the needs of this population. Methods: Team Clinic is a person-centered virtual peer group (VPG) care model that was assessed in a 15-month, pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Youth (ages 10\u201317) and their families were assigned to study arms based on their clinician\u2019s group (standard care or person-centered care, PCC) and then randomized to VPGs or no groups. Results: Data from 79 youth and their families were examined. While positive outcomes were seen across all study groups, youth that participated in Team Clinic (PCC + VPG) reported the largest increases in resilience at the end of the study (+7.42, to 51.63, p = 0.009). These participants also reported the lowest levels of depressive symptoms as assessed by PHQ-8 scores (\u22125.07, p = 0.002) at the end of the study. Conclusion: Team Clinic can serve as an alternative care model for racially and ethnically diverse youth with T1D and their families. VPGs can provide unique benefits, including an increase in resilience, a decrease in depressive symptoms, and a safe space for families to connect, learn, and receive support.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children11111383","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,14]],"date-time":"2024-11-14T10:47:53Z","timestamp":1731581273000},"page":"1383","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Insights from Team Clinic: A Person-Centered Virtual Peer Group Care Model Adapted for Marginalized and Historically Excluded Youth with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3241-5601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaquelin","family":"Flores Garcia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90027, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1942-225X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark W.","family":"Reid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90027, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandra","family":"Torres Sanchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90027, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valerie","family":"Ruelas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90027, USA"},{"name":"Division of Endocrinology, Keck School of Medicine of USC, Los Angeles, CA 90033, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah-Jeanne","family":"Salvy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Health Equity, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA 90048, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Booster Shot Media, Venice, CA 90291, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Ashwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Booster Shot Media, Venice, CA 90291, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5587-3226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"D.
