The transition from pediatric to adult healthcare is often difficult for teens—even more so and more crucial for teens living with HIV. The Massachusetts Department of Health and Next Step (a support organization that works with this population) wanted to help make that transition easier for them, their caregivers, and the healthcare professionals that take care of them. They interviewed all three groups and found out what made them nervous, what they didn’t understand, where they needed more resources. DiSanto Design was then commissioned to take all of that information and turn it into an easy-to-navigate guide that not only engages, but also speaks to each group in a visual and written language that they can understand and relate to. The resulting piece—the first of its kind—was a huge success.
