This study sought…

Nationally, there are low rates of high school-age youth receiving health care transition (HCT) preparation from health care providers. This pilot study implemented and assessed the use of a structured HCT process, the Six Core Elements of HCT, in two school-based health centers (SBHCs) in Washington, DC. The pilot study examined the feasibility…
