N2 - To pool resources and reduce inequalities in access to transition preparation for patients, transition clinics were created in France. They are places in hospitals, independent of the usual care departments, offering multiple resources and services for adolescents and their parents. Of the 24 physicians from care departments who were surveyed, half of them do not use transition clinics. The implementation of transition clinics in hospitals did not lead to their adoption by the care departments that needed the most support for transition preparation of their patients. A strategy improving adoption is needed to allow transition clinics to reduce inequalities.
