Study Summary

This trial is testing whether the MyREADY Transition[TM] BBD App is helpful for brain-based disabilities, compared to not using it. Participants will either use the App or not, as usual care continues. The study team wants to see if the App helps youth be more knowledgeable about their own health.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Usual Care + MyREADYTransition[TM] BBD AppExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in the experimental Intervention group continue to get the same care they have been getting (their usual care) and they receive the MyREADY Transition[TM] BBD App e-health application. There are 19 parts in the App with videos and games to help youth learn and practice ways to manage their health. There are approximately 5-7 hours of content in total. Participants will be asked to wait at least one day between the parts. There is a timer in the App to help to moderate pace and align with how young people learn and digest information. Participants can choose how much time they want to take to do the App. It is recommended that participants make their own routine for using it. The recommended shortest and longest intervention exposure times are: 1 part each day (this will take 19 days to do all of the App), 1 part each week (this will take 19 weeks to do all of the App).
Group II: Control Group: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the no intervention Control group continue to get the same care they have been getting (their usual care). The researchers aim to supply the App to participants in both the intervention and control group for a limited time after participation in the study.
