Abstract

systematic review

transition readiness

pediatric health care

adult health care services

family and peer support

mental health support

This systematic review describes factors associated with transition readiness and the transfer of care from pediatric to adult health care services among adolescents and young adults with diabetes. Overall, thirty-three international nonintervention, nonqualitative studies were identified between 2018 and 2023. Collectively, this review's findings identify targets for intervention and may inform policies and care practices related to transition, such as transition readiness, family and peer support, mental health support, and engagement in pediatric care.
