Summary

This trial will compare the MyREADY Transition CHD app to a nurse-led one-time intervention in clinic to see which is more effective in preparing young adults with CHD for transfer to adult care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 16-17 with moderate or complex congenital heart disease (CHD) who are patients at a participating pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic. It's not suitable for those with a reading and comprehension level below Grade 6 or who have had a heart transplant.
What is being tested?
The study compares two methods to help CHD patients transition from pediatric to adult healthcare: an innovative MyREADY Transition CHD app, which they'll use over 18 months, versus a one-time nurse-led session covering self-management skills.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience varying levels of engagement or stress related to using the app or attending the session.
