See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents with chronic illnesses who are looking to improve their health care transition readiness, self-efficacy, emotional well-being, and health literacy. It's also aimed at those who want to increase their likelihood of attending medical appointments.
What is being tested?
The study tests if short-form social-media style health education videos can be more effective than a standard health education website (GotTransition.org) in helping teens manage their chronic illnesses. Participants will use the assigned resource for 20 minutes and complete surveys.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational materials rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participation. However, participants may experience varying levels of engagement or stress.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Health education videosExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The social media intervention will consist of 7 short videos between 20-60 seconds each, filmed by a professional videographer. Videos 1) start with text asking a question or giving a title highlighting the educational topic, 2) display adolescent volunteer patient partners directly teaching self-management and transition skills, demonstrating the skills via tutorials, or presenting health education content in the style of social media trends, and 3) conclude with a written summary of take-away points. The videos will be shared to participants as a password-protected Vimeo.com playlist. If participants are more comfortable in Spanish, they will be given the option to view the videos dubbed in Spanish.
Group II: Publicly Available Health Education WebsiteActive Control1 Intervention
We will contrast the social media intervention against a control condition consisting of sharing the GotTransition.org Youth and Young Adult Resources webpage: https://gottransition.org/youth-and-young-adults/. This website is a project from The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health. The webpage includes videos, infographics, quizzes, and frequently asked questions. Testing the social media intervention against this existing national resource will assess whether the novel intervention is relatively more acceptable or efficacious than an active comparison. If participants are more comfortable in Spanish, we will prompt them to use the website search function to locate resources in Spanish.
