The previous research program enrolled two groups of patients—those with inactive disease and those with active disease, and their parents [46]. Remission was induced in patients with active disease before beginning use of the Mission is Remission® site. Although participants demonstrated improvements in main outcome variables such as HRQOL, and Disease Knowledge, there was no true control group in this study such that statements around the effectiveness of the program in comparison to routine or standard care could not be made. Based on lessons learned from the first Mission is Remission® site, a new site was created, which was made possible from an IWK Auxiliary Grant. The expertise of the web-developer, who has been involved in the development of multiple sites for teens, was pivotal in guiding the site's development. The use of social networking, peer support, and parent-to-parent support was optimized through this process.
