The impact of insurance on adolescent transition to adult care
Health insurance is a complex system that affects AYA's ability to manage their health and transition to adult-based care. Evidence-based interventions to improve AYA and parent/caregiver health literacy knowledge and skills about health insurance prior to transition to adult-based care are needed. Improvement in health insurance literacy could improve transition readiness for entering adult care, which could in turn improve health outcomes.
