The 3 main aims are:

1. To assess the effects of our transition intervention on clinical and patient-reported outcomes. 2. To implement the transition intervention and evaluate the implementation outcomes. 3. To evaluate the economic impacts of the transition intervention. Participants will have access to a transition coordinator before, during, and after their planned transition from pediatric to adult care as standard of care.
