Take control of your health: Managing your health information

The Take Control of Your Health Series is a set of resources to educate teens and young adults about taking an active role in managing their healthcare. The four-card set covers the topics of managing appointments, medications, health insurance, and health information. Each subject card outlines how to get started, important facts, and what questions to ask to get the information needed to become more independent. Parents can use these tools to start a dialogue with kids about the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. Tweens and teens will find the cards useful as a starting point for gaining more independence, and practitioners can distribute them to the young adults and families they work with.

What do young adults need to know to manage their health information as they begin to transition from pediatric to adult care? Use this card to guide the process.
