Call for Papers: Transitioning Adolescents and Young Adults to Adult Health Care
Call for papers focusing on the transition of adolescents and young adults—particularly those with chronic illnesses—from pediatric to adult systems of care to publish as part of a yearlong “rolling theme” issue. An ongoing call, articles on the topic will publish throughout the next year. We seek research that addresses all facets of the transition process, including educational interventions that help clinicians implement a smooth transition for patients and their families. We invite both pediatric and adult primary care and specialty clinicians and health services researchers to submit manuscripts.
