Summary
This study tests a support program for teens aged 16-17.5 with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis as they move from pediatric to adult healthcare. The program includes personalized assessments, a transition navigator, and virtual skill-building sessions. Researchers will measure how well participants function and manage their health three years later, comparing them to teens who receive standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Multimodal behavioral intervention (individualized assessment, transition navigator, virtual skills-building, and education program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a standard program to help teens with Crohn's disease transition more smoothly to adult care, improving their daily functioning and mental health.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (90 participants) focused on a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. Participants may not fully adhere to all components, limiting effectiveness.
