The
Adolescent HIV Prevention Resource Toolkit
A resource toolkit has been developed to help frame the
process of beginning a collaborative project focused on adolescent health
issues, with specific information on adolescent reproductive health issues
targeting HIV and related STD prevention. Learn about collaboration, resources
in adolescent reproductive health and HIV/STD prevention, the coordinated
school health model, youth development, and other issues. By utilizing
this resource toolkit, you will have a background on the issues and topics
that two AAP initiatives found relevant for working collaboratively on
adolescent health issues. A framework for how to proceed through the resource
toolkit, as well as the resource toolkit table of contents, is located
in the Resource Toolkit Introduction.
National
Initiatives
This section includes information about relevant AAP national
initatives. Three national initiatives have focused on adolescent health
issues in the past 5 years. A summary of each of the projects is provided,
along with a list of project participants, conference agendas, photos
and other relevant information.

Examples of how states have applied information such as
the resource toolkit are included in this section. Two AAP initiatives

of adolescents. The stories from these collaborative teams are summarized
