As increasing numbers of children survive into adulthood more adolescents and young adults are negotiating the process of transitioning from pediatric- to adult-centered care. During this health care transition (HCT), significant declines in treatment adherence have been observed. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to examine the rates of, factors that influence, and the impact of non-adherence on health outcomes during the HCT, as well as interventions that promote adherence during the HCT. Age, psychological functioning, and insurance status are related to non-adherence during the HCT period. Systematic measurement of adherence in studies examining the HCT is needed.
