Summary

This trial looks at how a SMART Program can improve the quality of life & reduce healthcare use for those with IBD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who feel stress affects their symptoms. Participants must have internet access and a device like a smartphone, tablet, or computer. They can't join if they've used corticosteroids in the past 3 months or use illicit substances including medical marijuana.
What is being tested?
The study examines how a Stress Management and Resilience Training (SMART) Program might improve life quality and affect healthcare needs for those with IBD. It's about learning to handle stress better to see if it helps manage IBD symptoms.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this program focuses on managing stress rather than medication, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect from drugs. However, participants may experience varying levels of emotional discomfort when addressing personal stressors.
