This book addresses the unique healthcare needs of adults with chronic childhood illnesses. It presents a model of primary and secondary prevention for emerging adulthood: primary prevention, in which all young adults are screened for high-risk behaviors and health needs, and secondary prevention, in which young adults with chronic childhood conditions are optimized through coordinated care, connections to community resources and social/family support.
