December 2024
New faculty orientation (NFO) programs are shown to increase faculty satisfaction, enhance collaboration, and support promotion, retention, and academic success. In an effort led by a clinical psychologist, the Children's National Hospital (CNH) NFO was developed, piloted, and is in its 3rd year. Data are shared regarding program development process, feasibility, and acceptability.

The aim of this project was to develop a CD-specific pediatric QOL measure (Celiac Disease Life Inventory of Family Experiences [CDLIFE]) with parallel self-report and parent-report forms by generating items through concept elicitation interviews, iterative refinement using cognitive debriefing interviews, and evaluating its psychometric properties and validity.
Methods: Concept elicitation interviews were conducted to develop items (9 youth ages 8-19 years with CD; 10 parents of youth with CD), followed by cognitive interviews with additional stakeholders (3 youth with CD, 3 parents, and 8 clinicians) and item administration (parent/youth reports: n = 103/102).
Article Synopsis
- Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management can be tough for young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare, as they face both health care challenges and typical life changes.
- * The DiaBetter Together study aims to assess a 12-month intervention where Peer Mentors guide young adults (ages 17-25) through this transition, focusing on healthcare navigation and self-management skills.
- * The trial measures primary outcomes like HbA1c levels and secondary outcomes such as the time taken to switch to adult care and overall psychosocial well-being.
Objectives: This paper explores parent coaching experiences supporting parents of young children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in a clinical trial.
Methods: In a trial for 157 parents, those in the intervention arm ( = 116) were paired with a parent coach (n = 37; Mage = 37.9 years, SD = 3.
Objective: To evaluate feasibility/acceptability of a virtual, group mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) adapted for pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: This two-way controlled trial randomized adolescents 1:1 to MBI (n = 20) or health education (HE; n = 22) groups lasting 6-7 weeks. Eligibility included 12-17 years, T1D ≥ 1 year, and elevated scores on PROMIS depression or anxiety measures.
