Summary
This study tested a website designed to help teenagers with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia and their families understand and improve social relationships. Twenty-five teens and their parents reviewed the website's content, which included animations, patient stories, and expert advice. The goal was to see if the website was easy to use and helpful, and to measure any changes in the teens' social health.
