“…The middle range, in which TAY find themselves, is less clear, and as such, insufficient guidance in this regard exists for providers and for TAY and families. TAY can and should be involved throughout transition planning, a sentiment echoed in studies with and without a focus on MHA care [ 88 , 94 ]. Many studies have acknowledged the importance of developmental readiness in transitions, for example, by considering emotional and brain development when assessing the capacity to cope with upcoming transitions [ 95 ].…”

Introduction Transitional-aged youth (TAY) with mental health and/or addictions (MHA) concerns and their families experience significant challenges finding, accessing, and transitioning through needed MHA care. To develop appropriate supports that assist TAY and their families in navigating MHA care, their experiences of transitions in the MHA care system must be better understood. This scoping review identifies and explores the needs, barriers, and facilitators for TAY and their families when transitioning through MHA care. Methods This scoping review commenced with a search of five relevant databases. Three research team members were involved in title, abstract, and full-text scanning and data extraction. Sources focusing on TAY anywhere between the ages of 12–29 years and meeting the study objectives were included. Extractions compiled background and narrative information about the nature and extent of the data. Analysis and synthesis of findings involved numerical description of the general information extracted (e.g., numbers of sources by country) and thematic analysis of narrative information extracted (e.g., family involvement in TAY help-seeking). Results A total of 5894 sources were identified. Following title and abstract scanning, 1037 sources remained for full-text review. A total of 66 sources were extracted. Findings include background information about extracted sources, in addition to five themes that emerged pertaining to barriers and facilitators to access and transitions through care and the needs and roles of TAY and families in supporting help-seeking and care transitions: holistic supports, proactive preparation, empowering TAY and families, collaborative relationships, and systemic considerations. These five themes demonstrate approaches to care that can ensure TAY and families’ needs are met, barriers are mitigated, and facilitators are enhanced. Conclusion This review provides essential contextual information regarding TAY with MHA concerns and their families’ needs when seeking care. Such findings lend to an enhanced understanding of how MHA programs can support this population’s needs, involve family members as appropriate, reduce the barriers experienced, and work to build upon existing facilitators.

“…The prevalence of comorbidity increases with age; still, in the Netherlands (and Europe), 25% of young people are affected by one or more chronic conditions [7][8][9] . These youngsters are less likely to reach their full intellectual potential, have uncertain future perspectives, and frequently experience social exclusion 2,4,10,11 .…”

Chronic conditions and multi-morbidity affect 50 million individuals within Europe and are the leading causes of disablement and death. Obesity, inactivity, chronic pain/fatigue and mental health issues are reported in 25–85% of all people with a chronic disease, irrespective of the pathological mechanism. The prevalence of comorbidity increases with age; still, in Europe, 25% of young people are affected by one or more chronic conditions. These youngsters are less likely to reach their full intellectual potential, have uncertain future perspectives, and frequently experience social exclusion. The underlying causes for the development or persistence of these comorbidities involves a myriad of complex mechanisms that are not solely disease specific but often individualized in personal and environmental factors. This complexity is challenging for health professionals and there’s a need for developing early detection tools. For this study 250 community-dwelling youth with one or more chronic conditions for over a year. Data was collected via electronic survey and combined with public data on living conditions. Machine learning RF-models were used to create risk-profiles for mental health issues, chronic fatigue, and severe disability based on 31 features. Risk profiling through RF-modelling showed adequate performance metrics, discriminating between youth who developed mental health issues, chronic fatigue, and severe disability and those who did not (ROC-AUC:.81-.86). Somatic symptoms, pain-related coping, and living environment were found to be the most contributing features to the RF-models (LIME Relative FI:7.0-24.6%). Data-supported clinical decision making can aid in identifying youth at risk for disabling comorbidities, even in non-specialized settings.
