Abstract

The “Roundtable on Young Adults with IBD” is a year-long learning community consisting of monthly discussions between providers, patients, and healthcare partners. The group aims to enhance outcomes for the young adult IBD patient population. The first discussion centered on the difficulties that IBD patients face during the transition from pediatric to adult care and how care can be improved for young adult patients during this phase. The group discussed the need to identify developmental milestones for young adult patients, further screening for disordered eating, and the importance of collaboration between specialists and pediatric and adult providers for a successful transition. Additionally, the group highlighted areas of concern such as the spread of misinformation through social media, social determinants of health, and the potential lifelong psychosocial, mental, and economic burdens of IBD for the young adult patient population.
