TRansition US Together (TRUST) Study: A Parent-Centered Educational Toolkit to Support their Adolescents with JIA and cSLE as they Transition to Adult Care
Dr. Molly Dushnicky, PGY2
Supervisor: Dr. Michelle Batthish
The transition from pediatric to adult care is a difficult, and potentially dangerous, period of time for youth with chronic disease. Our pediatric rheumatology clinic, among other clinics, have initiated adolescent-directed tools and strategies to support this transition. However, to date, there are limited resources to support parents in helping their youth through this process. The TRUST study will implement a “Parent Toolkit” to the transition process in pediatric rheumatology and assess it’s efficacy in development of Transition Readiness.
Objectives:
- Understanding of the challenges of the healthcare transition from pediatric to adult care
- Understand the role of the parent/caregiver in supporting their youth through this process
