Got Transition™ aims to improve transition from pediatric to adult health care through the use of new and innovative strategies for health professionals and youth and families.

18 million U.S. adolescents, ages 18–21, are moving into adulthood and will need to transition from pediatric to adult-centered health care.

— U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, 2013

Transition planning between youth, family, and provider has been associated with improvements in satisfaction, continuity of care, and greater adherence to care.

— Gabriel et al, 2017; McDanagh et al, 2007; Wojciechoski et al, 2002

Adolescent patient education programs have been demonstrated to increase a youth’s likelihood to independently manage his or her own care.

— Vidal et al, 2004
