Health Care Transition Readiness Video Intervention for Adolescents
This study is looking at whether short health education videos, like those you see on social media, can help young people with chronic illnesses prepare for managing their own healthcare. It compares these videos to existing health information websites. The study aims to see if the videos improve your readiness to transition to adult care, your confidence in managing your health (self-efficacy), your emotional well-being, your understanding of health information (health literacy), and your attendance at appointments. We'll measure these things right after the intervention and again six months later. We are looking for about 44 participants aged 12 to 17 who have access to the internet and speak English or Spanish.

- Self-reported score with a range from 1-5, on the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ).Immediate post-treatment and 6-month follow-up.
The TRAQ assesses the readiness of youth and young adults to transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. It includes items related to managing medications, appointment keeping, tracking health issues, and communicating with healthcare providers.
- Self-reported score ranging from 1 to 4, via the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES).Immediate post-treatment and 6-month follow-up.
The GSES evaluates an individual's belief in their ability to cope with a variety of difficult demands in life. It consists of 10 items, each rated on a 4-point scale, assessing confidence in handling unexpected events and solving problems.
- Self-reported score ranging from 1 to 5, via the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children and Adolescents (PANAS-C).Immediate post-treatment and 6-month follow-up.
The PANAS-C measures positive and negative affect in children and adolescents. It includes items that assess the extent to which individuals experience various positive and negative emotions over the past few weeks.
- Self-report questionnaire with a score ranging from 10 to 40, via the Health Literacy for Youth.Immediate post-treatment and 6-month follow-up.
The HLSAC measures subjective health literacy in youth, focusing on their ability to access, understand, and use health information to make informed decisions.
- Number of appointments attended divided by the number of appointments scheduled, producing a score ranging from 0 to 100%, via medical chart abstraction.Comparing 6 months before intervention to 6 months after intervention.
This measure calculates the percentage of scheduled medical appointments that were attended by the patient, providing insight into adherence to treatment plans and engagement with healthcare services.
