Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Moving from child care to adult care is a hard time for patients and their families. Parents of children with chronic conditions say they need more support around the time of changing care. Care providers say they do not have the tools to provide smooth transitions or help their patients manage their own health. This study is to see if a smart-phone-based app (named MyTransition) can improve healthcare transition experiences and health outcomes for youth, compared to usual care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Transition to adult care is an unavoidable and challenging period for patients and their families, and comes with adverse outcomes in experience of care, population health, and costs. Parents of children with chronic conditions report a greater need for support around the time of healthcare transition. Providers report neither having the tools nor appropriate resources to foster smooth transitions for patients and their families. We hypothesize that an app-based transition toolkit (named MyTransition) designed to support youth moving from child to adult care can improve their experiences and lead to better health. The main objective of this study is to collect information to design a large multi-centre randomized control trial to assess implementation of the MyTransition app including recruitment, completion of follow-up, and scale-ability of the intervention. The secondary objective is to assess the feasibility and potential effect of the MyTransition app-based transition toolkit for improving health of youth (quality of life), healthcare transition experience, and achievement of health and life goals.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

After completing the baseline assessment, participants will be randomized into one of two groups: intervention or control. Those in the control group will be thanked for their time and informed that the research coordinator will be in touch to set up the follow-up visits (3- and 6-months following baseline). Those in the intervention group will be provided access to the MyTransition app (intervention). The research coordinator will help them navigate through the app and will instruct them on how to use it. These participants will also receive monthly reminder messages from the research coordinator to promote the use of the app.
