OVERVIEW: This paper describes the study protocol used to evaluate the Resilient, Empowered, Active Living with @entity6 (REAL @entity6 ) intervention and reports on baseline characteristics of recruited @entity1 . REAL @entity6 is an activity-based intervention designed to address the needs of young adults diagnosed with type 1 (T1D) or @entity2175 ( @entity2175 ) from low socioeconomic status or racial/ethnic minority backgrounds. The REAL intervention incorporates tailored delivery of seven content modules addressing various dimensions of health and well-being as they relate to @entity6 , delivered by a licensed occupational therapist. METHODS: In this pilot randomized controlled trial, @entity1 are assigned to the REAL @entity6 or an attention control condition. The study's primary recruitment strategies included in- @entity1 recruitment at @entity6 clinics, mass mailings to clinic @entity1 , and social media advertising. Data collection includes baseline and 6-month assessments of primary outcomes, secondary outcomes, and hypothesized mediators of intervention effects, as well as ongoing process evaluation assessment to ensure study protocol adherence and intervention fidelity. RESULTS: At baseline, @entity1 (n=81) were 51% female, 78% Latino, and on average 22.6years old with an average @entity4051 c of 10.8%. A majority of @entity1 (61.7%) demonstrated clinically significant @entity6 and 27.2% reported symptoms consistent with major @entity308 . Compared to @entity1 with T1D, @entity1 with @entity2175 had lower @entity6 -related self-efficacy and problem-solving skills. Compared to @entity1 recruited at clinics, @entity1 recruited through other strategies had greater @entity6 knowledge but weaker medication adherence. DISCUSSION: @entity1 in the REAL study demonstrate clinically significant medical and psychosocial needs.
