| description | Up to 57% of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with chronic physical health conditions experience mental health conditions, the presence of which contributes to increased morbidity and poor quality of life. AYA with co-occurring physical and mental health conditions, therefore, may experience additional challenges as they transition from pediatric to adult services. While transition readiness – the acquisition of self-management and advocacy skills – contributes to successful transitions to adult care, this concept has not been adequately explored for AYA with co-occurring physical and mental health conditions. Research is needed to identify whether the presence of a mental health comorbidity is associated with transition readiness, and what the experiences of AYA with co-occurring conditions are as they exit pediatric services. This paper outlines the protocol for the Readiness and Experiences of ADolescents and Young Adults with Co-occurring Physical and Mental Health Conditions Exiting Pediatric Services (READY2Exit) study; the first study to address this gap using a patient-oriented, mixed methods design. |
