The report sought to better understand the life transitions of young adults with life-limiting illnesses and their families cared for by Children's Hospices Association Scotland (CHAS). It found that the young adults' medical conditions impacted on several other areas of their life, including their plans for the future, education, employment and relationships. The report also indicated that children’s hospices may not be best suited to meet the wide variety of needs that young adults (between the ages of 15 and 25) have. The research was carried out by Dundee and Nottingham Universities.
