Health care transition rates and associated factors for adolescents with asthma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescents and young adults with asthma face increased risks during the health care transition (HCT) from pediatric to adult care. Despite guidelines advocating for more HCT preparedness, this does not consistently occur in clinical practice.
