Michelle Martin is part of the Oral Health Program at the Utah Department of Health and worked for 12 years in private practice as a dental hygienist. She has also worked as a Health Educator at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and served on international humanitarian trips in the Marshall Islands, Vietnam, and Peru. She received a Master of Public Health degree at the University of Utah. 
Cynthia A. Berg, Ph.D., is Professor of Developmental Psychology at the University of Utah. Her research takes a life-span developmental approach to how individuals collaborate in close relationships (e.g., parent-child, married couples) to solve everyday problems, especially those surrounding chronic illness (adolescent diabetes, prostate cancer). Her work in diabetes focuses on how adolescents and emerging adults with type 1 diabetes can benefit from parents’ involvement and the effective ways that parents can scaffold adolescents toward more independent diabetes management. She has published numerous articles in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology, Diabetes Care, Health Psychology, and Developmental Psychology on such topics and has received funding from the National Institutes of Health for this research.
Amy E. Hughes, M.S., is a doctoral student in Clinical Child and Family Health Psychology at the University of Utah. Her research takes a developmental and psychobiological approach to the examination of how children and adolescents develop and apply self-regulatory and co-regulatory skill, in the context of their family and social environments. Her current work examines these questions in the context of adolescent chronic illness, studying mediators of both mental and chronic illness health outcomes (e.g. how emotion reactivity influences adherence in adolescents with type 1 diabetes through cognitive and family mechanisms). Her work shows that in addition to normative developmental benefits, adolescent skill in self-regulation and in ability to access co-regulation can serve to reduce psychosocial distress and enhance adherence to a medical regimen.
Joan Clark-Warner, M.S., R.D., C.D.E., is a clinical dietitian and diabetes educator for the University of Utah Health Science Hospital and Clinics. She has 29 years of experience as a dietitian, and 12 years of experience as certified diabetes educator.
