Background: These last years adolescents in transition to young adulthood (ATYA) have become a new matter of research. This
population encounter specific issues and challenges regarding their mental health particularly when they have attained age
boundaries and deal with the issue of transition from child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) to adult mental health
services (AMHS). Many key questions regarding how to sustain continuity of mental health care for ATYA during transition remain.
The aim of this paper is to review recent literature in the domain to identify dimensions that should be considered to improve ATYA
transition from CAMHS to AMHS.
Subjects and methods: A qualitative literature review was performed in Scopus-Elsevier database using the PRISMA method as
reporting guidelines. Only papers discussing dimensions involved in the transition process from CAMHS to AMHS were considered.
We restricted the review to researches published between 2010 and 2020.
Results: We identified 85 potential researches, after filtering; only 10 articles were finally included in the qualitative synthesis of
the literature. Five main dimensions were identified: patient, professional, organization, policy, and ethic related. Those dimensions should be considered in order to improve ATYA transition process out of CAMHS to AMHS.
Conclusion: This work contributes to identify principal dimensions that should be considered by mental health professionals and
organizations in order to improve ATYA transition from CAMHS to AMHS.
