Helpful Resources

• The national AAP adolescent health initiative, the Adolescent Health Parntership Project, focuses on elevating adolescent health with AAP members and in collaboration with other allied health professional organizations. — Learn about this and other AAP adolescent health initiatives via the National Initiatives button on the left.
• Stories of nine state-level initiatives illustrate how an individual and/or a multi-disciplinary team can use this information and replicate this process for the improvement of adolescents' health.
• A resource toolkit is included to help a collaborative team design activities or plan changes in their community or region that aim to improve adolescent health. At this time, much of the information has a specific emphasis on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention, and reproductive issues.
