Summary: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of adolescents with chronic conditions on mental health system redesign to improve outcomes. Through semi-structured interviews with 17 adolescents, the study found that they need to be heard, they need someone they can really talk to and trust, they need the mental health system to reach out and check in on them, and the school nurse is primarily for physical illness. The discussion highlights the need for mental health system redesign for adolescents with chronic conditions and suggests future research to test innovative healthcare delivery models to reduce mental health disparities in this vulnerable population.
