BackgroundLong-term outcomes in young people with type 1 diabetes continue to be of interest, and may help evaluate the effects of changes to the clinical care of children that have occurred in recent decades.AimsTo identify mortality and its causes before age 30 years in patients developing type 1 diabetes before age 15 years.MethodsSince 1995, paediatricians in Wales have compiled a prospective register of incident cases of type 1 diabetes occurring before age 15 years in Wales (the Brecon Cohort). Their subsequent mortality rates were compared with mortality in the general populations of Wales and England using the patient-years exposure method. Causes of death were ascertained from death certificates and from clinicians.ResultsThe standardised mortality ratio for young people with type 1 diabetes in Wales was 2.91 with no clear evidence of improvement or worsening of mortality risk over time. Most deaths occurred between ages 15 and 30 years although at a slightly younger age than in the general population. There were more deaths with increasing age at diagnosis of diabetes. Ketoacidosis remains the most common cause of death before age 30 years. Hypoglycaemia was difficult to ascertain with certainty but also caused some deaths. In this age group, chronic complications of diabetes were not a cause of mortality.ConclusionsDespite the developments in clinical care in recent years, the mortality risk for people developing type 1 diabetes in childhood remains high in young adult life before the onset of chronic complications.

Treatment Summary

Chapter 5 discusses care during and after radiotherapy for children and young people. During and immediately after treatment, children and young people receiving radiotherapy need monitoring for acute complications of treatment and may require supportive care. Following completion of treatment, a response assessment is needed, followed by ongoing surveillance for recurrence. If relapse occurs, consideration can be given to further treatment, which may be radical or palliative in intent. With the passing of time, the risks of relapse recede and monitoring for the late effects of treatment becomes more important. As the majority of patients will have some long-term sequelae, some of which can be ameliorated by timely intervention, patients should be followed in a multidisciplinary clinic. A detailed treatment summary will help predict the risk of complications and guide long-term follow-up. Patients, when they reach adult life, should be aware of possible problems, including fertility issues and second malignant neoplasms.

Youth Transitions

This chapter discusses resilience in the lives of care leavers. Youth transitions can be especially challenging for young adults who face major adversity in their lives as they negotiate early encounters with adult life. One such group is young people leaving out-of-home care at the official age, in many jurisdictions, of 18 years. Young people leaving care often do not have the luxury of extending the timing of their transitions, as may be the case for their peers not in care; circumstances force them to make early transitions and, typically, without the level of support their more fortunate peers may be able to call on. Yet many young adults leaving care do quite well; they manage to display resilience. They find resources in their social ecology which help them to manage the process of their transitions. This chapter explores the background to such displays of resilience and how former caregivers and other concerned adults may help to stimulate and sustain such resilience. It also argues that support from concerned adults in arenas such as education and work may be especially helpful in promoting resilience to adversity among youth transitioning to adulthood from care.

Labour Market Position

Abstract Background Despite the magnitude of youth unemployment there is a lack of studies, which explore the relations between health experiences and labour market position in various contexts. The aim of this paper was to analyse health experiences among young people in NEET (not in education, employment or training) in relation to labour market position from leaving school until early adult life. Method The population consists of everyone (six women, eight men) who became unemployed directly after leaving compulsory school in a town in Northern Sweden. Repeated personal interviews were performed from age 16 until age 33. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results Health experiences can be viewed as a contextual process, related to the different phases of leaving school, entering the labour market, becoming unemployed and becoming employed. Perceived relief and hope were related to leaving compulsory school, while entering the labour market was related to setbacks and disappointments as well as both health-deteriorating and health-promoting experiences depending on the actual labour market position. Our overarching theme of “Living in the shadow of unemployment – an unhealthy life situation” implies that it is not only the actual situation of being unemployed that is problematic but that the other phases are also coloured by earlier experiences of unemployment . Conclusion A focus on young people’s health experiences of transitions from school into the labour market brings a new focus on the importance of macroeconomic influence on social processes and contextualised mechanisms from a life-course perspective.

The Impact

Abstract Young people constitute more than half of global refugee populations, yet there is limited research into the impact of displacement on transitions into adult life. With the average period of protracted displacement extending beyond 20 years, insight is needed into how the experience of being a refugee shapes the expectations and lives of young people. This article examines the effects of weak and restricted labour markets on the transitions of young refugees into adulthood. Drawing from research undertaken with displaced children and youth in Uganda and Jordan, the article explores how a lack of work opportunities affects individual ability to achieve financial independence and, more widely, to obtain the social recognition associated with adulthood. The research finds how a dependence on precarious work and the effects of legal restrictions on employment curtail transitions to adulthood, highlighting the importance of national and humanitarian policy support to help young refugees establish stable livelihoods.

Abstract Background: An increasing body of evidence suggests that transitioning from school to adult life can be challenging for young people with intellectual disability. Transition from secondary school includes preparation of students before leaving school and may continue several years into adult life. Transition challenges may include isolation, mental health problems, and reduced participation in employment and tertiary education. Some literature indicate links between poor post-school outcomes, and ineffective collaboration between school systems, disability services, and employers. Yet, consolidated evidence to understand how young people themselves experience transition from school is needed. The aim of this scoping review is to draw together current literature reporting what is important to young people with intellectual disability about transitioning to life after school. Methods: Using the Joanna Briggs scoping review methodology, a systematic strategy will identify peer-reviewed qualitative research and grey literature reporting the voices of young people with intellectual disability to better understand personal experiences of transition to life after school. The review will explore scope and foci of topics, identify gaps in current evidence, and highlight approaches and methods used by investigators to include young peoples’ own views.Database searches for relevant qualitative research will include ERIC via Proquest, Ovid MEDLINE, selected EbscoHost databases, and Web of Science. Non-indexed and grey literature such as policies and reports will be searched via TROVE, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, and Google (with URL control and by crawling key agency websites). Studies will be selected using a three-step process: i) managing search results and removing duplicates, ii) title and abstract screening by two independent reviewers, and iii) full text review of included articles against inclusion criteria by two independent reviewers. Data will be tabulated, and presented in a narrative summary, aligning with the objectives and scope of this review.Discussion: Review findings will inform policy makers, educators and disability support organisations of transition experiences of young people with intellectual disability. Their identification of transition challenges and enablers will inform the design and implementation of participatory transition processes, ensuring that future guidelines reflect the views of those they intend to support.Registration with OSF DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/YHCDG

O artigo tem como objetivo compreender o fenômeno das migrações internacionais vividas por jovens rurais, a partir da inter-relação de fatores objetivos e subjetivos que interferem na reprodução familiar de agricultores. A pesquisa foi realizada em Itapuranga, estado de Goiás, com base em dados qualitativos, obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. As migrações internacionais estão relacionadas com a desestruturação da produção agrícola e dos meios de vida dos agricultores familiares, que limitam a construção da autonomia dos jovens rurais e de processos de sucessão hereditária. Ancoradas em longa tradição, as migrações internacionais de jovens rurais passaram a representar estratégias de ascensão social, emancipação pessoal e transição para a vida adulta. In this article, we aim to analyze the phenomenon of international migrations experienced by rural young people, based on the interrelationship between objective and subjective factors that limit the traditional strategies of social reproduction in agriculture and the construction processes of social autonomy and entry into adult life. The research was carried out in Itapuranga, state of Goiás, Brazil, based on qualitative data, obtained through semi-structured interviews. International migrations are related to the disruption of agricultural production and the livelihoods of family farmers and to changes in perceptions of rural life and work, which limit the processes of hereditary succession and the construction of the autonomy of rural youth. Anchored in a long tradition, the international migrations of rural youth  have begun to represent strategies of social ascension, personal emancipation and transition to adult life.

The Right

The increasing emergence of legislation providing for minors' consent for health care furnishes a range of basic medical, legal, and social issues which require the thoughtful consideration of physicians caring for youth. The legislative provisions referred to account for a variety of consent situations ranging from the care of a specific illness or disorder to the dramatic lowering of the age for which consent for health care can be given. The ultimate conflict in the matter of minor's consent is between the basic rights and responsibilities of parents concerning their children and the emergence of the concept that youths have the right to make decisions relating to their bodies and their care. When the preservation of privacy and confidentiality affects the utilization of health care by youth, the conflict must be resolved. Not only have state legislatures provided varying opportunities to resolve some of these issues, but also two major health organizations concerned with the health of youth have provided model acts which would serve as a basis for enabling young people to consent for confidential, comprehensive health care. In recent years society has demonstrated a tendency to permit young people to determine a variety of aspects of their own affairs well before the traditional age of majority. In regard to health decisions, a number of situations have emerged in which the rights of youths deserve consideration. These include circumstances in which the person might avoid health care if the parents have to be informed, when a communication breakdown between the young person and the parents has taken place, if a need for emergency care occurs when parents cannot be reached, or when young people are living away from home in an adult life style. Legislative responses to the sociohealth concerns affecting youth do not take a moral or judgmental position, nor do they infer a lessening of the importance of family integrity. They do respond to a number of reality health matters with high incidence which have emerged, particularly in the past decade. These laws do not require physicians to treat young people on their own consent, nor do they forbid physicians from informing parents if this is considered in the best interest of the patient. Furthermore, it is important for the physician to persuade youths to involve their parents and gain their support and understanding. Minors' consent can serve to restore interrupted communication between young people and their families. The appearance and evolution of the "emancipated minor" and the "mature minor" concepts is recognition of the capacity of the adolescent to determine his own affairs and give an informed consent. The age at which human beings reach maturity is variable, and competent decision making is not assured by arrival at a certain chronological age.

The book offers a new outlook on social, cultural and educational work with young people. It is the perspective of social pedagogy: a theoretical and practical perspective that has been developing in continental Europe over the last 150 years. Social pedagogy poses a way of acting that places young people at the center of socio-educational work, putting their decisions and actions into value. It aims to accompany them in their life process of personal construction within the framework of the community in which they live. The book is organized into three large blocks of chapters. The introduction aims to prepare readers for the social pedagogy approach to work with young people. It briefly outlines its current situation in the world and, relate it to the main professions in which it is embodied in different socio-cultural contexts: social pedagogy, social education, and social work. The first block presents the framework and socio-pedagogical, theoretical, and practical parameters in which work with young people takes place in Europe and Latin America. The second block of chapters deals with youth policies and the training and professionalization of educators and those who work with young people. The last block focuses on some socio-educational practices with young people that include youth justice, social inclusion process, youth participation in digital life or transition to adult life. The book is based on a wide perspective of young people from cultural diversity. All the contributions of this book are based on research and practical experiences.
