INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to describe the ways that parents and 11- to 15-year-old teens communicate and the recurrent themes and patterns of behavior that were revealed during brief interactions about issues related to diabetes management. METHOD: A secondary qualitative analysis of data, based on a template for analysis developed from the literature, was completed on audiotaped interactions of 28 adolescents and their parents. RESULTS: Themes identified were frustration, fear, normalizing, trusting, and discounting. Trusting the adolescent to manage diabetes was difficult for the parents and was associated with frustration, fear, and discounting communication. DISCUSSION: Results support the need for clinicians to work with families to facilitate trust and positive parent-adolescent communication about diabetes management.
