“…In addition to transferring into the care of an adult-focused rheumatologist, AYAs are learning to independently manage their chronic condition in new social settings as they move from their natal homes and pursue adult-oriented goals, such as careers. To support AYAs, researchers worldwide have examined gaps in rheumatol-ogy services (5)(6)(7), used new and existing assessments to assess transition readiness (8)(9)(10)(11), and proposed programmatic models for their health care settings (12)(13)(14)(15). Although promising transition programs have shown potential to improve health care use and processes (e.g., documentation, provision of policies) (12,14,15), more research is needed to understand how to widely implement these programs and how they impact outcomes that matter most to patients, such as disease stability, confidence in communicating with health care providers, and access to community services that support psychosocial well-being and vocational development (4,16,17).…”
