Transition readiness measures for adolescents with chronic illness: A scoping review of new measures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The transition from pediatric to adult care settings for adolescents and young adults living with chronic conditions can be challenging and has been associated with declines in health and access to care. Well-validated measures of patients' transition readiness are critical, both for use in the clinical setting and to rigorously evaluate transition support programs for the purposes of research and health care quality improvement.

Objectives

This review aimed to build off existing reviews and 1) identify and describe all newly developed and validated measures for the assessment of transition readiness for youth with chronic illness from the period of 2018-2022, and 2) evaluate their measurement properties and identify gaps in measurement testing.
