Facilitating transition between adolescent and adult psychiatry: patient and parent experiences from a jointly run ward for 16-25-year-olds in Germany
Findings suggest that specific structural elements contribute to the ward being perceived as an age-appropriate therapeutic environment. Further research should identify and define specific care components of integrated treatment for young people aged 16-25 to enable replication and evaluation of its implementation.
