Virtual Peer Mentoring for Adolescents With Congenital Heart Disease: A Mixed-Methods Study of the iPeer2Peer Program in the Transition to Adult Care
This study demonstrated that the iPeer2Peer program was acceptable in this population. AWCHD were highly engaged and described the benefits of peer support during the transition process. Clinical programs may consider implementing similarly structured peer mentorship initiatives as a unique form of psychosocial support during the transition adult care.
