Our research team has developed a peer coaching intervention that has been deployed to promote activated self-management for AYAs with several conditions, and this has been modified adolescents and young adults (AYA) with with congenital heart disease (CHD). This study will be conducted over two years and pair AYA with CHD with a peer coach who also has CHD has successfully navigated the transition to adult medical care and over six months will work to promote the motivation for self-care as well as the development of self-management skills. This pilot study will test feasibility and acceptability, as well as preliminary efficacy and long-term effects on successful transfer to adult cardiology.
