Carmac: Risk Behaviors in Adolescents With Chronic Diseases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Little is known about the prevalence of risk behaviors (RBs), in adolescents living with a chronic condition (CC) Objectives Main objective: To characterize the engagement of adolescents with somatic CC recognized as ALD (SCC-ALD) into RBs, compared to the French GP Secondary objectives
-
To identify factors associated with RBs in adolescents with somatic CC-ALD
-
To elicit strategies of preventive action of RBs in adolescents with somatic CC-ALD Methods multicenter, cross-sectional survey , based on a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach with an explanatory sequential design (2 consecutive steps): STEP 1 : QUANTITATIVE COMPONENT
-
N expected =500
-
Inclusion criteria : 14 to 18 years, With a SCC-ALD,Without cognitive impairment and/or psychiatric disease
-
Pseudonymised self-administered paper questionnaire (50 items) completed by eligible adolescents during a visit at referring hospital
-
statistical analysis : Comparative to the French GP: matching with two datasets (Enclass-HBSC 2022 and Portraits d'Adolescents 2013 surveys); identification of risk factors and risk subgroups STEP 2 : QUALITATIVE COMPONENT: Focus groups of adolescents with somatic CC-ALD (5 focus groups of 6-8 adolescents, conducted by a researcher in SHS) Perspectives
CARMAC will :
-
Provide a better understanding of RBs in adolescents with severe somatic CC and
-
Help develop strategies to prevent RBs to enhance the strategies of reducing the addictions to psychoactive substances and health inequalities in this population
-
Serve as a methodological model for future studies
