The transition from adolescence to adulthood on Medicaid: Use of mental health services
Publication Date: 6/1/2001
Description:
Transition from adolescence to adulthood presents major challenges for young people with mental health disorders. This vulnerable population must complete this complex change in life status as the institutional supports they have relied on previously are no longer provided through the same agencies or people. This report provides findings from an analysis of changes in Medicaid mental health service use among adolescents who have been diagnosed with mental disorders during the transition years from ages 12 to 23.
