Testing the TAC Program for teens with complex health needs
This study tests a program called TAC that helps teens with complex health needs move from SickKids to adult health care. It's for 16- to 18-year-olds who have multiple long-term conditions or a rare disease and might need extra support during this big change.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
