The goal of this interventional study is to test the feasibility of a new communication tool, call MyIBD, in youth ages 13 to 19 years with inflammatory bowel disease. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Is the MyIBD communication tool feasible to use in everyday clinical practice? * Does the MyIBD tool have potential to improve patients' self-management skills and the quality of care they receive? Participants who receive the MyIBD intervention will complete surveys about their care at three times points - at study enrollment, at 6 months, and at 12 months. The surveys will help the research team learn about the feasibility of using MyIBD in practice and about any effects on patients' self-management skills and quality of care. Researchers will compare those receiving a MyIBD document to a randomly selected control group (patients receiving usual care for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease) to see if self-management skills and quality of care differ between the groups.

What you need to know before you apply
What is this study testing?+
The goal of this interventional study is to test the feasibility of a new communication tool, call MyIBD, in youth ages 13 to 19 years with inflammatory bowel disease. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Is the MyIBD communication tool feasible to use in everyday clinical practice?
Is it safe? Who makes sure of that?+
This is a research study. Every study is reviewed and monitored by an independent ethics board (called an IRB) whose job is to protect participants, and care is overseen by licensed medical staff. You'll be told the known risks before you agree to anything, and you can stop at any time.
Will I get a placebo instead of the real treatment?+
Some studies compare a treatment against a placebo (an inactive version), and some don't. If this one does, the study team will explain your chances of receiving the active treatment before you decide. Nothing is hidden from you.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications?+
It depends on the study. Some let you stay on your current medications and some ask you to adjust them. Never stop a medication on your own — the study team will review everything with you first.
Does it cost anything? Will I be paid?+
Study-related care is provided at no cost to you. Some studies also pay for your time; the coordinator can tell you if this one does. You should never be asked to pay to take part.
Do I need insurance? Will anyone ask about my immigration status?+
No. You do not need health insurance to take part in a research study, and you will not be asked about your immigration status to join. Taking part is about whether you're a medical fit for the study.
What if English isn't my first language?+
You have the right to understand everything before you agree. Study sites can often provide materials or an interpreter in your language — you can ask the coordinator for one.
Is my information private?+
Yes. Your health information is only shared with the study sites you choose to be contacted by, and only to help match and enroll you. It is never sold, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
