- Adolescent Health Transition
Project -- @
As adolescents become adults, they
must assume responsibility for their health care. Assuming
responsibility for one's own health care, as developmentally able,
is part of growing up, becoming independent from one's family, and
finding a place in the adult community. The Adolescent Health
Transition Project is designed to help smooth the transition from
pediatric to adult health care for adolescents with special health
care needs. This site is a resource for information, materials, and
links to other people with an interest in health transition
issues.
