NEXTstep-CHD
Our research team needs your expertise to design an engaging and educational video game to help adolescents and young adults learn and practice skills needed for lifelong congenital heart disease (CHD) care. This game will help patients with CHD to develop essential transition readiness skills so that they can effectively manage their care, self-advocate, and navigate complex healthcare systems as an adult.

The overall goal of this study is to understand ways to help adolescents and young adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) prepare for transitioning from pediatric to adult care. We are specifically interested in understanding how to help patients with CHD build self-advocacy skills. We would also like to learn about ethical, legal, and social issues that may occur when living with CHD.
