The National Research Council/Institute of Medicine’s Adolescent Health Services: Highlights and Considerations for State Health Policymakers
In May 2006, the National Research Council/Institute of Medicine’s (NRC/IOM’s) Board on Children, Youth and Families (BCYF) convened the Committee on Adolescent Health Care Services and Models of Care for Treatment, Prevention, and Healthy Development. With funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies, the committee conducted a study of health services for adolescents ages 10-19 in the United States and issued a report, Adolescent Health Services: Missing Opportunities. The National Academy for State Health Policy has written this paper based upon that report to highlight aspects of the publication most relevant for and applicable to state policymakers, who play an important role in improving adolescent health.September 2009 -

SCHIP and Adolescents: An Overview and Opportunities for States
Over the past decade, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) has made great strides in increasing health care coverage among youth under age 19. However, this overall success masks an important disparity – adolescents are more likely to be uninsured than younger children. As state policy makers and program administrators seek to build on their successes to reach more of those eligible for SCHIP, special attention should be paid to adolescents. SCHIP coverage can not only improve teens’ health, but can reduce the burdens of chronic disease in adulthood.May 2008 -
