简要总结
Taking part in recommended levels of physical activity in youth with MS may have an important and positive impact on disease symptoms, long-term disability and health outcomes. Unfortunately, youth with MS are highly inactive. In order to address this issue, the investigators have developed an MS-specific mobile application for teens called Active Teens with Multiple Sclerosis (ATOMIC). In this research the investigators will evaluate the feasibility of using the ATOMIC program in youth with MS. The results of this pilot study will provide the data necessary to ensure the ATOMIC program aligns with the needs of youth with MS.

研究组 & 干预措施
ATOMIC mobile app
The proposed ATOMIC intervention consists of four primary components: (a) one-on-one chats with a PA coach, (b) informational posts, (c) PA self-monitoring through an activity tracker and (d) educational modules regarding different aspects of becoming PA delivered through our MS specific PA app.
干预措施: ATOMIC mobile app (Device)

主要结局
Utility of the ATOMIC program
时间窗: Interview [30 minutes] at 12 weeks
Utility will be addressed through semi-structured interviews that includes both open and closed ended questions. The interviews will be used to elicit the perceptions and preferences of the participants surrounding the use and method of delivery of the PA coaching and program content (e.g. phone, text messaging, posts to app); the usefulness, relevance, and applicability of the ATOMIC program content; as well as facilitators and barriers to use of the program. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted at baseline, six weeks, and post-intervention (twelve weeks). To supplement the interview data, utility will also be captured by counting the number of log-ins to the app and the number of completed coaching sessions and modules.
Feasibility of the ATOMIC program
时间窗: Entire study - up to 24 weeks
Determined by calculating accrual rates, drop-out rates, adherence rates with intervention, adverse event rates, proportion of completed study questionnaires, accelerometry and proportion of complete data extraction from ATOMIC app
