Because of a lack of transition policy, CAMHS clinicians have to decide whether and when a young person should transition to AMHS. This study describes which characteristics are associated with the clinicians' advice to continue treatment at AMHS.<h4>Methods</h4>Demographic, family, clinical, treatment, and service-use characteristics of the MILESTONE cohort of 763 young people from 39 CAMHS in Europe were assessed using multi-informant and standardized assessment tools. Logistic mixed models were fitted to assess the relationship between these characteristics and clinicians' transition recommendations.<hSocial psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiologyDemographic, clinical, and service-use characteristics related to the clinician's recommendation to transition from child to adult mental health services.PMC9042957602442Davidovic NFegert JMSandhu THeaney Nvan Dam ACarra GGheza EMorini GRiva EDanckaerts Mvan Bodegom LSVerhulst FCIngravallo NPresicci ASchepker RWilliams Bvon Bentzel CZanetti EPurper-Ouakil DPrigent CO'Hara LRoekens AVicari SCharvin IColeman PRinaldi Fvan Gutschoven HLippens CVaruzza Cde Roeck VStreet CBergamo FStoppa PMastroianni MNacinovich RWalker LTah PCarenini MConti PSartor ANeri FMaras AVarvara Pvan Amelsvoort TAMJButtiglione MCostanzo RRizopoulos DDa Fonseca DMadan JStarace FManenti LZabarella MLevi FMSlowik MPemmaraju VVannicola CSperanza MOperto FPetruzzelli MGLida-Pulik HSingh SPBertani ADieleman GCSagar-Ouriaghli IDaffern CMiller SSpadone MASchandrin AFerrari AKelly CFerrari CInvernizzi RCanaway ATuffrey ASakar Vvan West DNikolova PJardri RFarmer ABalaudo MGerritsen SENelis EKillilea MPepermans AOverbeek MMHendrickx GMonzani EPanaro VSignorini GRonzini PWilson AMacchi FAdams LKirwan JTrabucchi GTuomainen HMartinelli OMartinelli PAllibrio GGoglia GGriffin JRusset FPaul MColonna AMutafov Tde Girolamo GChianura KMargari LVentura PGatherer CErmans JPMargari FNegrinotti CWells PSantosh PJLievesley KStagi PRivolta LArmando MSingh JTanase EParenti ASiviero MMcNicholas FZamboni ACammarano MNoterdaeme MFerrari SStagni PAslan STremmery Sde Giacomo AGrandetto MSchulze UMENossa MBraamse KFranic TVanni FMenghini DWolke DMilestone ConsortiumToselli CSalvetti SKolozsvari AKovac VBodier Rethore CDodig-Curkovic KTubito MBerriman JMaurice VButtle SBreuninger USmyth CTansini LCantini FHumbertclaude VMcFadden LLiew ABonnet-Brilhault FVicini SBoon AAppleton RRogers BCataldo MGSaam MCGatta MBaccanelli NCappellari CGalea GPastore AScocco PConese PFiori FKlockaerts CfalseDemographic, clinical, and service-use characteristics related to the clinician's recommendation to transition from child to adult mental health services.<h4>Purpose</h4>The service configuration with distinct child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and adult mental health services (AMHS) may be a barrier to continuity of care.
