Trial of a Decision Support Intervention for Adolescents and Young Adults With Ulcerative Colitis

The iBDecide app provides participants with electronic tools to learn more about UC, track symptoms, create a nutrition diary, enter reminders for medication and clinic visits, as well as learn more about treatment options and compare UC medications. Participants will be provided instructions over the phone or via email to download the iBDecide app on their personal smartphone approximately two weeks prior to the scheduled clinic visit. When possible they will download the app during the consent call and the research staff member will review features of the app with the participant. For those unable to download it while talking on the phone, a follow-up phone call will be scheduled to review the features. During the consenting phone call or at the clinic visit, a time will be scheduled to collect additional information via a brief telephone survey approximately one week after the clinic visit. Participants will be sent emails and an electronic calendar invitation to confirm their scheduled telephone interview.
