Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The proposed study aims to improve the psychosocial health of adolescents living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The study will generate knowledge and support knowledge mobilization about the effectiveness of a novel model of care for psychosocial health and self-management for adolescents living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The novel model of care is the recruitment and training if young adult mentors to deliver a behavioural intervention that empowers adolescents with T1D to increase daily physical activity. The study will also advance the development and implementation of this peer mentoring model to improve the psychosocial health of adolescents with T1D.

Treatments
Experimental: 12-week TEAM peer mentor program
A 12-week peer-led behavioural intervention that supports increased physical activity. It will consist of 3 weekly contacts between participants and peer mentors that will be a mix of in-person, virtual, and texting. The intervention components and communication between adolescents and peer mentors with T1D will be guided by SDT, and designed to overcome the key psychosocial barriers to PA. The peer mentors that complete the training will deliver a 12-week intervention to increase behavioural skills that foster autonomy for goal setting and overcoming barriers to PA.
No_intervention: 12-week waitlist control
A 12-week waitlist control group that receives usual care, including standard educational resources developed by the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology for adopting and sustaining daily PA. Adolescents randomized to the control arm will be offered the 12 week intervention following the 24 week follow-up time point.
