Upcoming Opportunities:

Examination of the perceived impact, utility, and effectiveness of a shared decision-making tool for surgery in pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Friday, September 30, 2022 at 12:00 PM through September 29, 2024

The goal of this study is to understand the past experiences of patients, parents, and doctors who have used or viewed ICN’s "Should I have IBD Surgery?" shared decision-making tool (IBD Surgery Shared Decision-Making Toolkit - ImproveCareNow). The virtual patient tool was created to help families and patients identify their concerns, preferences and resources when considering IBD surgery. The tool provides doctors with suggestions on how to incorporate the tool into the patient’s plan of care. Using this tool gives patients and families the opportunity to involve their doctors and care teams in shared decision-making (SDM).

The research team hopes that this study will provide an understanding of the impact, usefulness, and effectiveness of this tool for providers and for pediatric IBD patients considering surgery.

The Experiences of Teens Living with IBD Study

Saturday, April 01, 2023 at 06:00 PM through September 28, 2023

This study will explore the experiences of teens aged 13-17 living with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease in the US. For this study, teens will be asked to complete two (2) online surveys – one immediately after joining the study and a second survey 6 months later. Survey questions will focus on social life, family, school, symptoms, and the challenges of living with IBD. 

In addition, they may be invited to use a mobile app, the SMART-IBD app, to log their IBD medications and symptoms for one (1) week after joining the study. Choosing to use this mobile app is an optional part of the study; teens can decline this part of the study and can still participate in this study.
