Summary

In Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the United States, there are an estimated 8,000 children under the age of 21 with type 1 diabetes. Although provisions for pediatric care exist, once these children become young adults they age out of their health care services. There is no formal transitional care program to help these individuals through this process of changing health plans and many end up without adequate care. This project aims to develop and implement a transition care program for young adults with type 1 diabetes in order to ensure uninterrupted transition from pediatric to adult diabetes health care and improve health and psychological outcomes.
