Description
Anna Alanen and co-authors follow teens with long-term illness as they move to adult care in this 2024 study. The transfer from child to adult services can be an anxious time. The study ran in Finland and Australia, with surveys before transfer and a year after.
A total of 440 teens took part. Care experiences were positive at both time points in both countries, with few clear gaps between sites at the start. After transfer, teens who felt their condition affected life less reported lower anxiety than those with a heavier impact. The authors use the findings to point at which teens may need extra support during the move to adult care.
