About this trial
The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a structured healthcare transition program for adolescents and young adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The study will also examine preliminary effects of the program on transition readiness, disease-specific self-management knowledge, emergency preparedness, continuity of endocrine care, and health-related quality of life as participants transition from pediatric to adult healthcare services.
