Read our Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new transition program designed to help teenagers (ages 17–18) with chronic conditions like type 1 diabetes, asthma, or obesity prepare for the move from pediatric (child-focused) doctors to adult doctors. The program includes four structured meetings over 9–15 months that help you learn to manage your condition independently and feel ready for adult care. Researchers are comparing this program to standard care to see if it helps young people feel more prepared and confident about their transition.
Many teenagers with chronic conditions don't receive enough preparation before switching to adult healthcare, which can lead to missed appointments, worse health outcomes, and gaps in care. This trial exists to test whether a carefully designed transition program can solve this problem and help young people manage their health better as they become adults.

If you join the transition program group, you will attend four planned meetings with healthcare providers over 9–15 months: an introduction meeting, a solo visit (without your parents), a joint meeting with both pediatric and adult doctors, and a feedback session after you transfer. You will also create a personalized transition plan that you can access and update through the hospital's online portal. If you are in the comparison group, you will receive the standard care your hospital normally provides. All participants will complete questionnaires about how ready they feel for the transition at the beginning, at the time of transfer, and 4 months after transferring to adult care.
