Adaptive Cell Phone Support (ACPS) for Medication Adherence
This study is looking at different ways to help teenagers and young adults (ages 15-20) with long-term health conditions remember to take their medications. Researchers are testing two types of mobile phone support, called Adaptive Cell Phone Support and Computer-Delivered Cell Phone Support, against simple Automated Text Reminders. The main goal is to see if the adaptive support, which changes based on your needs, works better to help you take your medicine. They will measure how easy the mobile app is to use and how acceptable the support is to you over 12 weeks. You can join if you are a Children's Hospital Los Angeles patient, speak English, and can understand the study information. The study plans to enroll 96 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Inclusion
What this trial measures
- Mean scores on the Mobile Health App Usability QuestionnaireBaseline to 12 weeks
Higher scores indicate greater ease with which users can use technology to achieve a particular goal; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 1 and the maximum value is 7.
- Total scores on the theoretical framework of acceptability questionnaireBaseline to 12 weeks
Higher scores indicate a greater "extent to which people delivering or receiving a healthcare intervention consider it to be appropriate, based on anticipated or experienced cognitive and emotional responses to the intervention"; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 7 and the maximum value is 35.
- Total scores on the Visual Analogue ScaleBaseline to 12 weeks
Percentage of doses taken our of 100%; higher numbers indicate greater medication adherence. This scale presents participants with a line, marked 0 on the left and 100 on the right, and participants can drag a marker to the place on the line that best visually indicated their adherence.
- Total scores on Rollnick's Readiness RulerBaseline to 12 weeks
Higher scores on this measure indicate more motivation to take medication as prescribed; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 0 and the maximum value is 10.
- Total Transition Readiness scores on the Successful Transition to Adulthood with Therapeutic = Rx QuestionnaireBaseline to 12 weeks
Higher scores on extent to which patients are prepared to manage their health condition as adults, outside of the pediatric system; ; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 0 and the maximum value is 90.
