My Health Coach App for Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
This study is testing if the My Health Coach app can help adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) improve their quality of life and manage daily activities. The app is a self-guided mobile tool designed to support well-being. To join, you must be an adult aged 18 or older with FASD or a history of prenatal alcohol exposure, be fluent in written English, and own a smartphone. You cannot have participated in a previous trial of this app. Researchers will measure success by looking at changes in your personal well-being and how well your basic psychological needs are met over 12 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Mean effect size on the Personal Well-being Index - Intellectual Disability Version (complemented by statistical hypothesis testing and 95% CI)Baseline to 12 weeks
The PWI is an 8-item measure of subjective wellbeing. The Intellectual Disability Version uses more concrete item wording and a 5-point pictoral scale. Ratings are summed and higher scores reflect better perceived well-being. An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium, and 0.8 is large.
- Mean effect size on The Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (complemented by statistical hypothesis testing and 95% CI)Baseline to 12 weeks
The BPNSF is a 24-item scale assessing both satisfaction and frustration relating to the three basic psychological needs identified in self-determination theory: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Items are rated on a 5-point scale from 1 "not at all true" to 5 "completely true." Higher scores reflect higher satisfaction or need being met to a higher degree. An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium, and 0.8 is large.
