Apr 1, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the My Health Coach app helps adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the My Health Coach app improve the quality of life of adults with FASD? Does the My Health Coach app help adults with FASD manage their day to day life? All participants will be asked to complete 3 sets of surveys: 1) at the study start, 2) at 6 weeks, and 3) at 12 weeks. Half of the participants will be given the app at the study start to use. The other half of participants will get the app after the 12 week surveys are complete. Researchers will compare survey results from people who receive the app right away to those who are in the waitlist group to see if there are changes in quality of life or day to day functioning.
