Effective intervention programs must be based on salient variables that improve diabetes control. Although literature supports that family relational processes influence diabetes control in adolescence and suggests that autonomy development is a major process associated with self-care, little attention has focused on autonomy as a primary capability that ungirds self- care and diabetes control as adolescence progresses. The long- term objective of this research is the facilitation of autonomy development in adolescents with IDDM to enhance self-care and diabetes control as adolescent's progress through early and middle adolescence. Specific aims are (1) to describe the developmental progression of family relational processes, autonomy, self-care and diabetes control in adolescents with IDDM and (2) to evaluate a model of influences of adolescent autonomy development and family relational processes on self-care and diabetes control, in which autonomy development has a central mediating role. A combined cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort-sequential design will be used and 274 adolescents between the ages of 11 and 15 years and their families will be enrolled and followed prospectively for 2 years until ages 13 through 17. The focus will be on the parent- adolescent subsystem and data will be obtained during a home visit through self-report questionnaires and a revealed difference family interaction task. The task will involve discussion of adolescent and diabetes specific family issues by parent(s) and adolescent. Measures of adolescent autonomy (emotional, cognitive and behavioral), family relational processes (cohesion, hostile conflict, parental separation anxiety, autonomous-relatedness, and inhibition of autonomy), self care (universal, illness-related and division of diabetes responsibility), and diabetes control will be employed. Diabetes control will be by glycosylated hemoglobin levels at two intervals four months apart. Cross sectional data will be analyzed using regression/correlational procedures. Longitudinal data will be analyzed by hierarchical linear models (HLM) with random coefficients. Model fit will be evaluated by several methods, including goodness of fit and diagnostic plots of individual subject slopes.

有效的干预计划必须基于改善糖尿病控制的显着变量。 尽管文献支持家庭关系过程影响青春期糖尿病控制，并表明自主发展是与自我护理相关的一个主要过程，但很少有人关注自主作为随着青春期进展而脱离自我护理和糖尿病控制的主要能力。 这项研究的长期目标是促进 IDDM 青少年的自主发展，以随着青少年在青春期早期和中期的进展，加强自我护理和糖尿病控制。具体目标是 (1) 描述 IDDM 青少年的家庭关系过程、自主性、自我护理和糖尿病控制的发展进程；(2) 评估青少年自主性发展和家庭关系过程对自我护理和糖尿病控制的影响模型，其中自主性发展发挥核心中介作用。将采用横断面和纵向队列序列相结合的设计，274 名 11 岁至 15 岁的青少年及其家人将被纳入研究，并前瞻性随访 2 年直至 13 岁至 17 岁。重点将放在父母-青少年子系统上，并通过自我报告问卷和揭示差异的家庭互动任务在家访期间获得数据。 该任务将涉及家长和青少年对青少年和糖尿病具体家庭问题的讨论。 将采用青少年自主性（情感、认知和行为）、家庭关系过程（凝聚力、敌对冲突、父母分离焦虑、自主相关性和自主性抑制）、自我护理（普遍、疾病相关和糖尿病责任划分）和糖尿病控制的措施。 糖尿病控制将通过两个间隔四个月的糖化血红蛋白水平来控制。将使用回归/相关程序分析横截面数据。 纵向数据将通过具有随机系数的分层线性模型（HLM）进行分析。 模型拟合将通过多种方法进行评估，包括拟合优度和各个主题斜率的诊断图。
