First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether short, social-media-style health education videos can help teens with chronic illnesses become more ready to manage their own healthcare. 44 teens will be randomly assigned to watch the videos or explore a standard health website. Researchers will measure changes in health literacy, confidence, and appointment attendance right after and six months later.
