Barriers and supports for adapted physical activity in children and teens with IBD
Analysis of Barriers and Facilitators to Adapted Physical Activity for Pediatric Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
This project will ask children and teens (10–17) with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis about what helps or stops them from staying active to find ways to support regular physical activity.

What this trial studies
This observational study will enroll about 60 adolescents aged 10–17 with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis followed at Hôpital Lenval. Participants will complete two self-administered questionnaires (CAPAS-Q for activity/sedentary behavior and IMPACT-III for health-related quality of life) and take part in a single semi-structured interview about experiences, obstacles, and supports for physical activity. Relevant clinical data including disease characteristics, treatment, and routine clinical parameters will be extracted from medical records to contextualize responses. Participation requires a single 45–60 minute visit during a routine hospital appointment with no additional intervention or follow-up.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal participants are 10–17-year-olds with a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis for at least six months who are followed at Hôpital Lenval and can complete questionnaires and a one-on-one interview.
Not a fit: Those newly diagnosed (less than six months), with other chronic conditions or major cognitive or language barriers, or those seeking direct medical treatment changes are unlikely to receive direct benefit from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help design programs or clinical supports that make it easier for children and teens with IBD to be more active and improve quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Prior questionnaire and interview studies in pediatric chronic illnesses, including some work in IBD, have successfully identified barriers to activity and helped guide intervention design.
