Executive Functioning, Diabetes Distress, and Diabetes Management Among Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Youth and Parent Perspectives
Authors' conclusion
Youth EF may shape which adolescents are at increased risk for suboptimal T1D management as well as diabetes distress
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents aged 13–17 years with T1D (mean age 15.44, SD 1.38 years) and their parents
- Participants
- 88 adolescents
Methodological detailscross-sectional analysis of preintervention data
