During adolescence, the significance of peer relationships peaks, and the presence and quality of dyadic friendships impact psychosocial outcomes. Yet, friendships have been studied infrequently among youth with chronic illness, particularly youth with cystic fibrosis (CF). The current aims were to (1) describe friendships among adolescents with CF, including number, duration, frequency of interactions, and positive/negative friendship qualities, and (2) explore associations between friendship quality, treatment adherence, and health-related quality of life.
