Interview Participants and Structure
Participants were identified by members of the research team and through inquiries to the relevant health authorities. Requests for interviews were sent via email by our study coordinator to the potential participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants using an interview guide which was developed by the research team to meet the study objectives (Appendix A). Participants located in the capital city were interviewed in-person; those located outside the capital were interviewed by telephone. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. A general inductive approach for qualitative analysis was used.14 Qualitative description and thematic analysis were used to determine the current transition processes and to identify themes for improving the transition experience and related clinical practices.15,16
