Implementation of a Pilot Study in Adolescent Health Care Transition Program for Chronic Granulomatous Disease: A
Background:
The transition to adult health care is challenging for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD). This pilot study aimed to facilitate the learning of AYA with CGD about their health care and to aid in the development of life skills to enhance self-care.
Methods:
AYA and caregivers (for participants <18 years of age) completed an adapted Transition Readiness Assessment. Educational sessions were held both in person and via telehealth and included virtual meetings with subject matter experts or a designated program mentor. Twenty-five participants were invited, 13 entered the pilot and 8 completed the transition readiness assessment.
Results:
The pilot study was well-received by CGD participants and caregivers. In the future, a larger cohort may provide more data to comment on efficacy and outcome in the AYA population.
Conclusion:
Expansion of an educational transition program for AYA with primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) might be useful.
