The principles of transition, the management of patients and parents, and developmentally appropriate adolescent health care are discussed and evaluated. The academic importance of understanding long-term outcomes of treatments and diseases that began in childhood is also covered.
This book aims to help readers build a multidisciplinary transition team and details the barriers encountered in this process and the ways to overcome them.
