November 2023
Background: Previous literature has explored parent/caregiver perspectives and satisfaction with the health care transition (HCT) process for their adolescents and young adults with special health care needs (AYASHCN). Limited research has explored the opinion of health care providers and researchers on parent/caregiver outcomes associated with a successful HCT for AYASHCN.
Methods: A web-based survey was distributed through the international and interdisciplinary Health Care Transition Research Consortium listserv, which at the time of the survey was composed of 148 providers dedicated to optimizing the HCT of AYAHSCN.
This study investigated the role of social support in self-management within education/employment settings for young adults (YA) with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as well as barriers and facilitators to social support formation. Nineteen YA with ESRD (mean age 24 years, 10 males, 9 African American) recruited from a pediatric nephrology clinic in the Southeast United States completed in-person semi-structured interviews. The grounded theory was used to analyze transcribed interviews to identify emergent themes.

- Alcohol consumption on college campuses is a significant public health issue, prompting some universities to implement medical amnesty policies (MAPs) to encourage reporting alcohol emergencies without fear of punishment.
- A study involving 42 undergraduate students revealed that while many white students viewed MAPs positively, feeling they enhance safety, students of color, particularly Black students, expressed mistrust and safety concerns regarding first responders, indicating low awareness of the MAP.
- The findings suggest that while MAPs might reduce fear of reporting alcohol-related incidents, their effectiveness and acceptance are not uniform across different racial groups, highlighting a need for further research on the interplay of race, alcohol policies, and campus safety.
