Feasibility and Acceptability of a Self-Guided Digital Family Skills Management Intervention for Children Newly Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Family dynamics play an important role in determining the glycemic outcomes of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children.
