Children's Hospital Los Angeles
Summary
The goal of this feasibility pilot trial is to finalize the design of a mobile health intervention for promoting medication adherence in a population of adolescents and young adults with chronic health conditions. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. Is the final version of the intervention sufficiently feasible, usable, and acceptable for evaluation in a randomized clinical trial? 2. Do participants show improvements in medication adherence during their field testing of the intervention?
Description
Adolescents with chronic health conditions will be asked to try the intervention for three weeks and give feedback to refine the structure and content in preparation for a future randomized trial of the finalized version of the intervention. Plan to enroll 35 participants in this single arm feasibility/usability trial.
