This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) provides $325,000 to Kairos Research LLC, a small disadvantaged business in Dayton, OH, to develop a mobile application to help Latino adolescents manage type 1 diabetes.
The key products and services to be delivered under this 1-year award include optimizing the app design through end user research and internal testing (Aim 1), as well as validating the acceptability and usability of the app prototype through mixed-methods research with patient populations (Aim 2). The app will offer culturally sensitive tools to build knowledge and facilitate self-efficacy and planning for Latino adolescents with type 1 diabetes, an underserved population facing disparities in care and outcomes. This research aims to advance the treatment of type 1 diabetes in this community and provide insights into integrating social cognitive science into clinical practice to support patient self-management.
