Do baseline resilience profiles moderate the effects of a resilience-enhancing intervention for adolescents with type I diabetes?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Resilience processes include modifiable individual and family-based skills and behaviors and are associated with better health and emotional outcomes for youth with Type I diabetes (T1D). There is likely heterogeneity among adolescents with T1D based on differing profiles of resilience processes. At-risk adolescents with lower levels of modifiable skills and assets may benefit more from psychosocial skill-building interventions, compared to adolescents who already have strong resilience processes.

It also evaluated subgroups as moderators of the efficacy of a
