A practical toolbox for the effective transition of adolescents and young adults with asthma and allergies: An EAACI position paper.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adolescence is a critical stage of rapid biological, emotional and social change and development. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with asthma and allergies need to develop the knowledge and skills to self-manage their health independently. Healthcare professionals (HCP), parents and their wider network play an essential role in supporting AYA in this process. Previous work showed significant limitations in transition care across Europe. In 2020, the first evidence-based guideline on effective transition for AYA with asthma and allergies was published by EAACI.

Aim

We herein summarize practical resources to support this guideline's implementation in clinical practice.
