Health literacy is essential for treatment success. To improve knowledge about the biopsychosocial factors influencing FAP and support its management, we developed an educational multimedia website (\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/meine-bauchstelle.com\">https:\/\/meine\u2010bauchstelle.com<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      ).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In a multicenter randomised controlled trial (RCT), patients with FAP (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009166, age 5\u201317\u2009years,\n                      <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200910.8, SD\u2009=\u20093.31; 53.6% female) and their parents were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG: access to the website before the first measurement) or a control group (CG: no access to the website during data collection).
