Brief summary (registry, in English)
The iPeer2Peer (iP2P) program is an online peer support mentorship program that provides modelling and reinforcement by trained young adult peer mentors to adolescent mentees with the same condition. A quasi-experimental single-arm pre-post study design will be employed across three sites. We will recruit 40 mentees (12-17 years of age) and 12-15 mentors (18-30 years of age) who will undergo training in mentoring and the use of eHealth technology. Mentor-mentee pairings will connect over 15 weeks through video calls and text messaging to provide peer support and encourage disease self-management skills. Data will be collected using standardized instruments and interviews across three time points.
