Background: Observationally, family and social support are important for optimal diabetes self-management; however, interventions targeting family/social support have not consistently been effective. A novel, diabetes-specific family functioning typology offers the opportunity to classify types of baseline family functioning to determine for whom family interventions may be effective.
Purpose: We examined the effects of an intervention by baseline type of family functioning post hoc, to inform differential benefit from interventions.
Background: Memory and learning deficits are among the most impactful and longest-lasting symptoms experienced by people with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite the persistence of post-TBI memory deficits and their implications for community reintegration, memory rehabilitation is restricted to short-term care within structured therapy sessions. Technology shows promise to extend memory rehabilitation into daily life and to increase the number and contextual diversity of learning opportunities.

Objective: The aim of this article is to examine the independent associations of social determinants with readmission or death, accounting for medical history.
Methods: Participants included adults who were hospitalized with ACS at an academic medical center.
Background: Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) use is increasing rapidly among people with type 2 diabetes, although little is known about predictors of CGM use beyond clinical and demographic information available in electronic medical records. Behavioral and psychosocial characteristics may also predict CGM use.
Objective: We examined clinical, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics that may predict CGM use in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Article Synopsis
- Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are effective in improving health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with diabetes, but sustaining their use presents challenges.
- Research has mostly focused on how to start using CGMs rather than maintaining them over time, highlighting a gap in understanding the reasons behind their continued use.
- The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model is proposed as a framework to better understand CGM use, suggesting that individual goals for using CGMs should guide education and support for optimal management.
