• 1 other identifier: HUM00130432
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 180

Brief Summary

The study looks to learn more about the helpfulness of web-based transition education and its effect on transition readiness and health service utilization in the adolescent and young adult congenital heart disease population.

Conditions

Congenital Heart Disease; Transition; Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in transition readiness score, as measured by transition readiness survey

  The transition readiness survey is used to measure a participant's self-reported knowledge about their health and readiness to take charge of their healthcare. Each item is scored from 1 to 5, where 1 means "No, I do not know how" and 5 means "Yes, I always do this when I need to." The overall score is determined by calculating the sum of all questions on a 100 point scale. A higher score indicates greater readiness for transition.
