Summary

This study looked at whether a year-long peer mentoring program could improve quality of life and daily functioning for youth aged 10-17 with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Participants were randomly assigned to either a mentoring program with a trained older teen mentor or an educational activity group. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
