This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a structured education program designed specifically for teenagers with congenital heart disease (heart defects present from birth). The program consists of three educational modules delivered over several months to help teens develop the skills and confidence they need to manage their own care as they move from pediatric doctors to adult-oriented health systems. The study compares teenagers who receive this special transition training to those who continue with routine clinic visits.
Many teenagers with congenital heart disease and their families struggle during the transition to adult care because they lack knowledge about their condition and feel unprepared for the changes ahead. Research shows that teens with this condition need professional support and targeted education to successfully manage their own care, reduce anxiety, and stay healthy as adults.

If you are in the transition care group, you will attend three education sessions over several months, each lasting about 35–40 minutes, held face-to-face in a training room. The sessions will be tailored to your personal needs and cover topics important for managing your heart condition as you grow into adulthood. If you are in the control group, you will continue your regular clinic visits as usual, and you will have the option to receive the same training after the study is completed.
