Home Video-based Telemedicine to Reduce Hypoglycemia Fear in Parents of Young Children

Study Summary

Investigators developed REDCHiP (Reducing Emotional Distress for Childhood Hypoglycemia in Parents), an innovative video-based telemedicine intervention. In the pilot work, investigators found preliminary efficacy for REDCHiP in reducing parental FH, parenting stress, and children's HbA1c. The objective of this clinical trial is to conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing REDCHiP to a relevant attention control intervention (ATTN) in families of young children, thereby continuing to establish its efficacy. The proposed R01 aims are: 1) To evaluate whether parents who receive REDCHiP report reductions in FH and parenting stress at post-treatment compared to parents who receive the ATTN; 2) To evaluate whether children of parents who receive REDCHiP have a lower HbA1c and less glycemic variability at post-treatment compared to children of parents who receive ATTN; 3) To examine whether families who receive REDCHiP maintain reductions in FH, parenting stress, and child HbA1c at a 3-month followup compared to families who receive ATTN.

Primary Outcome

Child glycemic control will be measured by change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) NGSP (%) between baseline and post-treatment.
