*About the meeting
On November 7, 2003, CDHP and AAPD participated in the National Health Professional Membership Network meeting. The meeting's goals: to "bring together national medical and public health organizations to share ideas, materials and resources that will increase the promotion of the National Initiative to Improve Adolescent Health by the Year 2010 (pdf) and the 21 Critical Objectives for Adolescents (pdf) within the organizations;" and to "develop a framework for collaborating with states on adolescent health issues."

The above policy and guideline links are intended as an adolescent policy resource for the dental community and an oral health resource for dental, medical and public health organizations. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list - each organization has policy and position statements that are not currently available online. Updates to the grid may be emailed to Mike Ambrose at CDHP.
