iPeer2Peer program
In addition to standard care, youth in the experimental group will receive the iPeer2Peer Program. The iPeer2Peer program is a peer mentorship program that will provide modeling and reinforcement of self-management by pre-screened and trained peer mentors (young adults with IBD aged 18-25 years) who have learned to function successfully with their disease. Mentors will encourage youth to develop and engage in disease self-management skills and provide social support.
Waitlist control
The control group will receive standard care but without the iPeer2Peer Program.
