Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Young adults aged 18–30 with type 1 diabetes, diagnosed for at least one year, receiving care at LUMC or Diabeter, able to speak/read Dutch, and able to consent.

Probably not a fit

Participants who do not experience improved collaboration or who are not receptive to the tool may see no additional benefit beyond standard care.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares standard diabetes care with care that uses the Making Care Fit tool in encounters with young adults who have type 1 diabetes. Participants will have an observed clinical visit, a post-visit video-stimulated interview, and fill out questionnaires about their experience. The goal is to see if collaborative efforts to tailor care to daily life differ when the tool is used. The setting is Leiden University Medical Center and Diabeter in the Netherlands, and participants must be Dutch-speaking adults aged 18–30 with at least one year since diagnosis. The study design appears qualitative and observational in nature within a care-delivery context.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the tool could help clinicians and patients collaborate more effectively to tailor diabetes care to daily life.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work in collaborative care tools suggests potential for improved patient-clinician alignment, though results can vary by setting and population.
