Abstract
As adolescents and young adults with chronic medical conditions prepare to transition from pediatric to adult-based care, they must assume more responsibility for managing their health, providing opportunities to explore both risk and wellness behaviors. This qualitative study used a Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework to better understand the progressive development of health self-management within this population. Results of this study were expected to increase understanding of both risk and protective behaviors adolescents may perform related to their chronic condition, motivations to perform behaviors that promote wellness, and the ways social networks hinder or facilitate autonomous health self-management.
