Click here for the archive of this broadcast

This program, developed in collaboration with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, as part of their broader adolescent health data technical assistance effort, discussed states' use of adolescent health data to influence policy and make informed decisions about programming. Data collection tools and methods (e.g., the Youth Risk Behavioral Survey and ASSETS) and evaluation and performance indicators (e.g., Healthy People 2010 adolescent health objectives and the Title V performance measures) were discussed in terms of their use in shaping the adolescent health agenda.
