AB  - Introduction Effective transition from child and adolescent mental health 
      services (CAMHS) to adult services is one of the main challenges currently facing 
      child psychiatry today The Young Adult 1Programme (YAP) based at St. Patrick's 
      University Hospital Dublin, is a group based day programme especially designed to 
      meet the needs of younger people aged 18-25 and support them through this 
      difficult period. Aims To examine the effectiveness of participation in YAP for 
      young adults with mental illness. To determine whether participation in 
      particular aspects of the programme prove more beneficial and what factors might 
      be associated with outcome. METHOD: All patients enrolled in YAP between 1 
      September 2011 and 31 August 2012 were included in the study. Each patient was 
      assessed using the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HONOS) and Global 
      Assessment of Functioning (GAF) rating scale before beginning the programme and 
      after discharge in order to evaluate improvement. The frequency of attendance at 
      individual group sessions was recorded. Patient and illness variables were also 
      recorded, for example demographics, diagnosis. RESULTS: A total of 101 service 
      users were in enrolled in YAP during this 12-month period. Eight service users 
      could not be used for analysis, as they did not have a complete data set, mostly 
      due to failure to attend for discharge HONOS/GAF ratings Using a paired sample 
      t-test, there is a significant reduction in HONOS: Mean df=1.3, s.d.=1.09 (95% 
      CI=1.08-1.53), p<0.001 Using a paired sample t-test, there is a significant 
      increase in GAF: Mean df=9.25, s.d.=7.69 (95% CI=7.66-10.83), p<0.001 
      Improvements in HONOS and GAF scores are significantly correlated with better 
      attendance at the programme (p<0.04, <0.00 respectively). CONCLUSION: More 
      attendance at YAP sessions correlates with better improvement in both HONOS and 
      GAF rating scores.
