ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding the emotional and psychological well-being of caregivers who look after children and teens with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The researchers want to see if a new tool, called a Computerised Adaptive Test (CAT), can effectively measure how these caregivers are feeling. This tool adjusts the questions based on each person's answers, making it more personalized and accurate for each individual.

If you are a primary caregiver of a child under 18 with T1D and are at least 18 years old, you may be eligible to participate in this study. You will need to be comfortable using a smartphone and willing to share some health data from the child’s continuous glucose monitoring over the past two months. As a participant, you can expect to answer questions about your feelings and experiences, which will help researchers understand caregiver well-being better. This study is actively looking for participants, so if you meet the criteria and are interested, you could play a vital role in helping improve support for caregivers like you.
