Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Teencope consists of a series of 5 sessions designed to increase children's sense of competence and mastery by retraining inappropriate or non-constructive coping styles and forming more positive styles and patterns of behavior. Each week a new 30-45 minute session is uploaded to a password-protected website on the Yale server for youth to complete. Youth are grouped with 8-12 peers who complete the same weekly sessions in an asynchronous manner. Youth interact with each other on an online discussion board moderated by a clinical psychologist
Managing Diabetes consists of 5 sessions on educational content related to diabetes self management targeted to adolescents. As with the TeenCope program, each week a new 30-45 minute session is uploaded to a password-protected website on the Yale server for youth to complete. Youth complete educational sessions independently over 5 weeks. There is no online discussion board or peer interaction.
