This three-year mentored career development award pilot-tested an innovative individually tailored, community-based intervention, Resilient, Empowered, Active Living with Diabetes (REAL), targeting underserved minority young adults with poorly-controlled diabetes. Study outcomes included glycemic control, diabetes self-care behaviors and quality of life, as well as potential intervention mediators. Additionally, a rigorous process evaluation was executed to evaluate intervention implementation and study procedures. It is anticipated that findings from this pilot study will be used to inform a large-scale randomized controlled trial of the REAL intervention. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02214641
