Popis: Adolescence is a challenging time for both patients and healthcare providers. Adolescent patients need to learn all the knowledge and skills required to competently and confidently self-manage their allergy and asthma. They have to negotiate the challenging transition from being children, whose medical care is supervised by their parents, to independent expert adult patients. Although adolescent and young adult patients appear to be very robust, the reality is that they have often had a poor experience of medical care and are at surprisingly high risk of morbidity and mortality.
