Abstract
The increasing prevalence of diabetes among children increases the demand for cost-effective psychosocial interventions. This article reviews the efficacy of group-based psychological interventions designed to improve psychological adaptation, adherence to the treatment regimen, and diabetes-related medical outcomes in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. To help treatment providers incorporate empirically supported treatment components into group-based diabetes clinical programs, the review also discusses the challenges of transferring these interventions from clinical research trial to clinical setting.
