Can a teen mentor help another teen cope with Crohn's disease?

NCT ID NCT03827109

Summary

This study tested whether a year-long peer mentoring program could help teenagers with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis better manage their condition and improve their quality of life. Teens aged 10-17 were randomly assigned to either receive a trained peer mentor or to join an educational group without mentoring. The goal was to see if having a mentor who also has IBD could help young people cope with the challenges of their disease in daily life.
