Abstract
Approximately 10% of young people suffer from a chronic condition, which can affect both the biological, psychological and the social development. Studies show that young people appreciate individual consultations with their health-care professionals and value information about their legal rights as well as confidentiality. Risk-taking behaviour is more frequent among young people with chronic conditions than among their healthy peers, and the use of a systematic screening tool may help to discuss issues that are relevant to young people. Transition from the paediatric to the adult-oriented health-care system needs to be planned in due time.
