Web-based Educational Intervention

Behavioral

A web-based educational tool, created for patients with congenital heart disease, will be given to patients using an ipad. This additional educational tool will be used with the standard of care visit with provider.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in transition readiness score, as measured by transition readiness survey

    Time frame: baseline, 12 months

    The transition readiness survey is used to measure a participant's self-reported knowledge about their health and readiness to take charge of their healthcare. Each item is scored from 1 to 5, where 1 means "No, I do not know how" and 5 means "Yes, I always do this when I need to." The overall score is determined by calculating the sum of all questions on a 100 point scale. A higher score indicates greater readiness for transition.
