Brief summary
The goal of this feasibility pilot trial is to finalize the design of a mobile health intervention for promoting medication adherence in a population of adolescents and young adults with chronic health conditions. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. Is the final version of the intervention sufficiently feasible, usable, and acceptable for evaluation in a randomized clinical trial? 2. Do participants show improvements in medication adherence during their field testing of the intervention?
Detailed description
Adolescents with chronic health conditions will be asked to try the intervention for three weeks and give feedback to refine the structure and content in preparation for a future randomized trial of the finalized version of the intervention. Plan to enroll 35 participants in this single arm feasibility/usability trial.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total scores on the theoretical framework of acceptability questionnaire | Baseline to 3 weeks | Higher scores indicate a greater "extent to which people delivering or receiving a healthcare intervention consider it to be appropriate, based on anticipated or experienced cognitive and emotional responses to the intervention"; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 7 and the maximum value is 35. |
| Mean scores on the Mobile Health App Usability Questionnaire | Baseline to 3 weeks | Higher scores indicate greater ease with which users can use technology to achieve a particular goal; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 1 and the maximum value is 7. |
| Total scores on the Visual Analogue Scale | Baseline to 3 weeks | Percentage of doses taken our of 100%; higher numbers indicate greater medication adherence. This scale presents participants with a line, marked 0 on the left and 100 on the right, and participants can drag a marker to the place on the line that best visually indicated their adherence. |
