Hood KK, et al. - One-year outcomes of the Supporting Teens Problem Solving (STePS) study (a randomized controlled trial comparing a distress and depression prevention program with a diabetes education program for adolescents with type 1 diabetes) were reported. This randomized controlled trial, comprising 264 adolescents from two locations (Chicago and San Francisco Bay Area), suggested the possibility for achieving prevention of the development of the diabetes distress (DD), commonly seen in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, via intervening before symptoms of psychological distress start. Thereby suggesting the STePS program as a promising prevention program.
