Summary

In summary, there is a clear need to improve knowledge and self-management skills in adolescents with hemophilia. To date, there are no published accounts of self-management programs for this population. Evidence from other chronic diseases that affects teens suggests that by developing an interactive Internet-based program, the investigators can meet the educational needs of adolescents with hemophilia and improve their ability to manage their hemophilia. In the long-term, improved self-management should result in a smoother and more successful transition to adult care and improve patient outcomes.

Teens Taking Charge: Managing Hemophilia Online- Online self-management intervention

The content will be delivered on a password-protected website, as part of the "About Kids Health" interface developed and maintained at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. The website has been developed as eight discrete educational modules for adolescents. Each module takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete. Content has been written and reviewed by experts from comprehensive hemophilia care clinics across Canada (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists and social workers) and edited by a medical writer to ensure that it is written at the suggested grade 6 reading level for patient education materials. Content has been written in English and will be translated into French prior to program launch. The format is geared towards adolescents and includes narratives with video components and interactive illustrations. In addition, each module will have quiz questions with real-time feedback to promote interactivity and knowledge retention.
