Ready or Not? Health Care Transition Readiness Among Rural Appalachian Youth with and Without Special Health Care Needs

Johnson, Kiana R., Wood, David L., McBee, A. L. 01 January 2017 (has links)
Background: Transition readiness is a critical set of skills that youth must acquire as they prepare for managing their healthcare in adulthood, for both youth with and without special health care needs (SHCN). Currently much of the literature pertaining to transition readiness focuses youth with special health care needs (YSHCN). However, all youth, including those without special healthcare needs, should develop skills for managing their health as they transition into adult healthcare. Additionally, youth from rural areas may face additional barriers to acquiring the skills for transition, yet a paucity of information on transition readiness among this population. Objective: We examined transition readiness among youth in two rural high schools in South Central Appalachia. Specifically, we examined differences in readiness among youth with and without SHCN. Design/Methods: We used data from a 2016 school-based survey of adolescents ages 16-18 at two high schools in rural South Central Appalachia Tennessee (n = 437). Using a validated screener, we identified 23% of youth as YSHCN. Compared to healthy youth, a greater proportion of YSHCN were female (68% vs. 49%) or non-Hispanic white (96% vs. 83%). We assessed differences in transition readiness as measured by four subscales (managing medications, appointment keeping, tracking health, and talking with providers) of the the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ). Responses were collasped into two categories, yes/no, for each item and summed to create scale scores. We conducted MANOVA models predicting transition readiness by YSHCN status and demographics as potential covariates. Results: YSHCN scored significantly higher than youth without SHCN on all four measures of transition readiness (p<.01). In multivariate analyses YSHCN (versus other youth) had significantly greater transition readiness for the four subscales: F(4, 401= 5.36, p<.001), controlling for age. Table 1 displays overall and group means, and p-value for the TRAQ subscales. Conclusion(s): Rural YSHCN scored higher on the scale, perhaps due to their increased exposure to the health care system. Readiness skills for the transition to adult health are necessary for all youth however, findings from this study suggest that many rural youth—particularly those often thought of as “healthy”—may not be fully prepared for this transition. Findings point to the need for the development of interventions to help all youth effectively make transition to adult healthcare
