Feasibility Test of Action Planning in Pediatric IBD

Feasibility of a Care Team-Focused Action Plan to Improve Quality of Care for Children and Adolescents With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Sponsor

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Feb 5, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to test the feasibility of a new communication tool, call MyIBD, in youth ages 13 to 19 years with inflammatory bowel disease. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Is the MyIBD communication tool feasible to use in everyday clinical practice? * Does the MyIBD tool have potential to improve patients' self-management skills and the quality of care they receive? Participants who receive the MyIBD intervention will complete surveys about their care at three times points - at study enrollment, at 6 months, and at 12 months. The surveys will help the research team learn about the feasibility of using MyIBD in practice and about any effects on patients' self-management skills and quality of care. Researchers will compare those receiving a MyIBD document to a randomly selected control group (patients receiving usual care for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease) to see if self-management skills and quality of care differ between the groups.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALMyIBD

MyIBD has two components: (1) an electronic, templated document that presents brief, actionable, tailored guidance from IBD specialists to families and other providers who care for a pediatric patient with IBD; and (2) regular, short prompts sent through the electronic patient portal to remind patients to refer to and use their MyIBD document to guide decisions about care in between appointments.
