REAL-Fam Feasibility Study for Youth Diabetes Management

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the REAL-Fam occupational therapy intervention is feasible to study in a larger-scale randomized controlled trial. It will also seek to understand how the intervention influences how a rural family participates in and manages their child's type 1 diabetes, their family quality of life, and the child's health outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Primary Aim 1: Evaluate the recruitment capability, participant inclusion criteria, assessment selection and process, and data. * Primary Aim 2: Evaluate the participant acceptability of and interventionist fidelity to the intervention. * Secondary Aim: Evaluate families' preliminary outcomes to the REAL-Fam on family quality of life and participation, diabetes management self-efficacy, and child blood glucose stability. Researchers will compare the REAL-Fam intervention to the Attention Group to see if there are changes in family diabetes-related health routines and psychosocial aspects of managing a child's type 1 diabetes. Participants will: * Children will wear continuous glucose monitors for study period * Caregiver participants will complete baseline and post-intervention surveys * Intervention Group: engage in 12 audio/video telehealth sessions with REAL-Fam intervention * Attention Group: engage in 3 audio/video Zoom meetings without specialized services * Complete a post-study interview
