What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the My Health Coach app in improving the quality of life for adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Participants will be randomly assigned to either use the app immediately or join a wait-list group, with their progress assessed through surveys at the start, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. The study focuses on measuring perceived well-being, psychological needs, and self-management readiness, while also analyzing app usage patterns. By comparing outcomes between the two groups, researchers hope to determine the app's impact on daily functioning and quality of life.
