Research Study Opportunity on the Transition to Adult Care

The study seeks people with special healthcare needs between the ages of 20 and 30 and their families

Researchers at the University of Chicago are exploring how care changes for people with special healthcare needs as they age out of pediatric care and transition to adult care.

The research study is recruiting people with special healthcare needs between the ages of 20 and 30 and their families to participate in interviews.

People with special healthcare needs have significant chronic conditions that usually require consistent management by more than one type of doctor.

Study participants will have a recorded one-hour Zoom or in-person interview with researchers.

The researchers will ask questions about the transition to adulthood, including what doctors an individual went to and how their health care might have changed.

Participants will receive a $150 gift card for their time.

The enrollment form is also available in Spanish.
