Abstract
Background: The transition from youth to adult health care is a complex process, and only 25% of all youth and less than 35% of youth with special health care needs in Wisconsin receive support.
Objectives: This article describes the process and results from the Wisconsin Youth Health Transition Initiative's assessment of transition support provided in health care.
Methods: Key informant interviews were undertaken with clinicians from several Wisconsin health care systems.
Results: Fifty percent of health care systems interviewed had a formal policy or guideline supporting health care transition. Additionally, several barriers consistent with national trends were confirmed.
Conclusions: Health care transition for Wisconsin youth remains suboptimally supported in practice. Continued funding and work towards this important maternal and child health objective are needed.
