Emerging adulthood is a period where young adults transition to AD self-management, which comes with increased healthcare responsibilities. As accessible healthcare professionals, community pharmacists (CPs) may offer help for young adults with AD in the UK. This study explores CPs\u2019 experiences of supporting young adults with AD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fourteen interviews were conducted with CPs. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Ethical approval was obtained from the Newcastle University Ethics Committee before the study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two themes were identified: community pharmacy as a medicine collection point and community pharmacists\u2019 limited preparedness to manage AD. CPs perceived young adults with AD primarily used community pharmacy as a collection point for medicines. Participants did not have a distinct approach for communicating with young adults, which may reduce the likelihood of young adults with AD seeking advice. CPs felt limited in their preparedness to diagnose and prescribe treatments for AD, and managing chronic AD, which may negatively impact the interactions between CPs and young adults with AD for advice and support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings illustrate that interactions between young adults with AD and CPs were centred around medicine supply. CPs\u2019 absence of a tailored approach to young adults with AD and limited preparedness to manage AD reinforced limited interactions. Improvements are needed in enhancing CPs\u2019 capability to recognize young adults\u2019 needs and addressing limited preparedness through continuing professional development programmes to better support young adults\u2019 AD management.<\/jats:p>\n
