Purpose: Those participating in intervention groups may experience improvements in their treatment adherence, better self-monitoring, and goal setting. Participants may benefit from connections made via ICN conferences. Improved engagement in their own care may be associated with better health outcomes. This study may have a significant impact on patient care and empowerment in several ways through improving access to self-management care and
facilitating the process of communicating information to patients.
Specific Aims/Hypothesis
This study will assess the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of the SMART-IBD app and WINWIN resources on clinical outcomes in adolescents and young adults with IBD.
- Hypothesis 1: Compared to patients not using the SMART-IBD app, those using the app will have better disease activity score (primary outcome) and better symptoms, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life (secondary
outcome). - Hypothesis 2: Compared to patients not in the WINWIN condition, those getting WINWIN will have better disease activity (primary outcome) and symptoms, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life (secondary outcome).
- Hypothesis 3: Compared to any other condition, patients with combination SMART-IBD and WINWIN (What I Need, When I Need It) will have better disease activity (primary outcome) and symptoms, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life (secondary outcome).
