Results indicated that youth with SB obtain increasing responsibility for their health care over time. The transfer of responsibility for SB management may differ based on individual (i.e., the child's neuropsychological abilities) and family level (i.e., parenting behaviors) factors. Further research is needed to understand how growth in medical responsibility relates to changes in other aspects of SB self-management across development, such as medical adherence.
