Risk Behaviors in Adolescents With Chronic Diseases — Carmac  

Chronic Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Risk Behaviors in Adolescents With Chronic Diseases

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial 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
