Abstract

A framework for action to improve teens' well-being.

 

Article Content

To promote the health of the 42 million adolescents in the United States, the Office of Adolescent Health (now part of the Office of Population Affairs) consulted leaders from more than 80 national organizations to develop a call to action known as Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow (TAG).1 Building on other national initiatives such as Healthy People 2020 and the National Prevention Strategy, TAG offers a framework for improving and supporting healthy adolescent development and engaging teens, parents, and youth-serving professionals-including health care workers.2
