Research Description: Dr. Naranjo is co-investigator on NIH and foundation-funded clinical research aimed at overcoming barriers and increasing adherence in persons with diabetes. Two areas of emphasis cut across this work: 1) addressing health disparities in chronic illness through individual, provider, and systems level interventions, and 2) optimizing health and quality of life through medical devices and technologies. Beginning in postdoctoral fellowship and spanning the past 8 years, Dr. Naranjo investigated the unique behavioral, mental health, individual, and family factors that impact health care for youth with chronic illness, including T1D. In 2017, Dr. Naranjo received a SDRC Pilot and Feasibility Award.
