Title: Getting READDY at School: Collaborating with School Nurses for Diabetes Transition Success
Session Overview: Transition of care from pediatric to adult diabetes is challenging. To address this, we partnered with local public-school nurses to implement a school-based diabetes transition readiness assessment using the Readiness of Emerging Adults with Diabetes Diagnosed in Youth (READDY) survey. Following a pilot feasibility study the year prior, the objectives for the 2024-25 school year were to increase middle school (MS) and high school (HS) student participation in completing a READDY survey and enhance the student learning experience.
