This study is a quasi-randomized mixed methods evaluation of the implementation of an innovative collaborative care model to assess whether it is feasible and improves indicators of diabetes and mental health, while exploring themes that will inform redesign of the care model to improve healthcare delivery to young adults with diabetes transitioning to the adult care setting. We will compare primary and secondary outcomes in this model to those in the usual care model for adult diabetes management at MGH Diabetes Center. Those who agree to the research study will be asked to complete a series of three survey questionnaires over the timeframe of the study. The electronic health records (EHRs) of these patients who agree to the research study will also be examined. All patients who successfully complete all 3 survey questionnaires will be eligible for a structured interview portion of the study to explore themes that will inform care model redesign.
