AAP BRINGS A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENTAL PERSPECTIVE TO THIS WORK: SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT STARTS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD AND CONTINUES THROUGH ADOLESCENCE, WHERE ALGORITHMS AND MARKETING-DRIVEN INCENTIVES SHAPE THE CONTENT YOUTH CONSUME AND SHARE, IMPACTING THEIR ONLINE EXPERIENCE AND MENTAL HEALTH. GROWING EVIDENCE HAS ESTABLISHED BOTH RISKS AND BENEFITS TO SOCIAL MEDIA USE: IMBALANCES IN THESE RISKS AND BENEFITS CAN HARM MENTAL HEALTH, EXACERBATE EXISTING HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND COMPOUND SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES FOR YOUTH. THE COE WILL SERVE AS A CENTRALIZED, TRUSTED SOURCE FOR EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATION AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH AS THEY NAVIGATE SOCIAL MEDIA. THE COE WILL REACH A NATIONAL AUDIENCE OF MILLIONS OF STAKEHOLDERS EACH YEAR; THIS AUDIENCE WILL INCLUDE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, PARENTS AND FAMILIES, EDUCATORS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL, CLINICIANS (E.G., PHYSICIANS, ALLIED HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS), TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES, AND OTHERS; DEMOGRAPHICS OF THIS POPULATION WILL REFLECT NATIONAL TRENDS. THE COE’S OVERARCHING GOALS ARE TO: 1) IMPROVE YOUTH’S MENTAL WELLBEING BY REDUCING THE RISKS AND LEVERAGING THE BENEFITS OF SOCIAL MEDIA, 2) BUILD THE CAPACITY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WORK WITH YOUTH TO MITIGATE SOCIAL MEDIA’S IMPACT ON MENTAL WELLBEING AND PROMOTE HEALTHY SOCIAL MEDIA USE, AND 3) SYNTHESIZE AND PROMOTE THE EVIDENCE BASE AND BEST PRACTICES FOR HEALTHY SOCIAL MEDIA USE VIA COMMUNICATION, GUIDANCE, AND OTHER RESOURCES. THESE GOALS WILL BE REACHED THROUGH 9 OBJECTIVES: 1) LAUNCH A COMPREHENSIVE COE WEBSITE, 2) ENGAGE A TECHNICAL EXPERT PANEL (TEP) AND YOUTH ADVISORY PANEL, 3) UTILIZE AN INTERACTIVE Q&A PORTAL, 4) DEVELOP EDUCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OPPORTUNITIES, 5) UTILIZE CASE STUDIES AND CASE CONSULTATION, 6)ENGAGE DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS IN LEARNING COMMUNITIES, 7) IMPLEMENT FORMATIVE RESEARCH, 8)COLLABORATE WITH FEDERAL RESEARCH AGENCIES, AND 9) COLLABORATE WITH OTHER FEDERAL PARTNERS. THE COE WILL MAINTAIN A KEY FOCUS ON EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION (EDI) IN THE CREATION AND DISSEMINATION OF CONTENT AND RESOURCES AND WILL MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE A WIDE RANGE OF VOICES, PERSPECTIVES, AND LIFE EXPERIENCES. THE COE WILL BE GUIDED BY EXPERT MEDICAL DIRECTORS, A CROSS-SECTORAL TEP COMPOSED OF EDUCATORS, CLINICIANS, YOUTH, PARENT/COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES, RESEARCHERS, AND INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES, AND A DIVERSE YOUTH ADVISORY PANEL WHOSE MEMBERS WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE CREATION OF CONTENT AND ACTIVITIES. THE COE WILL DISSEMINATE EVIDENCE AROUND THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE AND EXPAND AND TRANSLATE THE GROWING FIELD OF RESEARCH AROUND ACTIONABLE SOLUTIONS TO PROTECT YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH ONLINE, INCLUDING FAMILY MEDIA PLANS, PRIVACY PROTECTIONS, OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH TRUSTED ADULTS, AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS. THIS WORK WILL LEVERAGE AAP’S REPUTATION AS THE TRUSTED NATIONAL VOICE FOR PEDIATRIC HEALTH AND WILL UTILIZE THE ACADEMY’S EXTENSIVE EDUCATION, RESEARCH, COMMUNICATIONS, AND PARTNERSHIP CAPACITIES TO REACH A BROAD NATIONAL AUDIENCE OF MILLIONS OF STAKEHOLDERS EACH YEAR. AAP IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO CREATE A NATIONAL COE THAT CAN EFFECTIVELY ADVANCE THE INDIVIDUAL, CLINICAL, COMMUNITY, AND SOCIETAL SHIFTS NEEDED TO BUILD HEALTHY DIGITAL ECOSYSTEMS THAT PROTECT PEDIATRIC MENTAL WELLBEING ONLINE.

COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMS INTEGRATION FOR ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG ADULT HEALTH - ACCORDING TO THE 2021 ADOLESCENT BEHAVIORS AND EXPERIENCES SURVEY, 37% OF US HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS REPORTED POOR MENTAL HEALTH DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. ALTHOUGH RATES OF ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG ADULT (AYA) MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RISING FOR DECADES, THE INTERRUPTIONS IN FORMAL AND INFORMAL SUPPORTS FROM SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS DURING THE PANDEMIC CONTRIBUTED TO SOCIAL ISOLATION, FAMILY CONFLICT, AND ECONOMIC TURMOIL. CROSS-SECTOR COLLABORATIONS ARE NEEDED TO MEET THE VARIED AND UNIQUE NEEDS OF AYA. IN THE CSI-AYAH PROGRAM, THE NATIONAL COORDINATING COMMITTEE (NCC), LED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS (AAP) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF STATE AND TERRITORIAL HEALTH OFFICIALS (ASTHO), NATIONAL ALLIANCE TO ADVANCE ADOLESCENT HEALTH/GOT TRANSITION (NA), NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NURSES (NASN), NATIONAL COUNCIL ON MENTAL WELLBEING (NCMW), Y-USA, AND YOUTH MOVE (MOTIVATING OTHERS THROUGH VOICES OF EXPERIENCE) NATIONAL (YMN) WILL WORK TO BETTER INTEGRATE SYSTEMS OF CARE (SOC) THAT SERVE AYA. THE NCC WILL 1) ESTABLISH A CROSS-SECTOR ALLIANCE COMPRISED OF NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PARTNERS IN HEALTH, SCHOOL, AND COMMUNITY SYSTEMS THAT WILL COLLECTIVELY PROVIDE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP; 2) SUPPORT THE ALLIANCE TO DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE A NATIONAL BLUEPRINT TO IMPROVE AYA HEALTH AND WELL-BEING THROUGH SYSTEMS INTEGRATION IN STATES, TERRITORIES, AND TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS; 3) PROVIDE TARGETED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (TA) TO 3 LEARNING COLLABORATIVES COMPRISED OF LEADERSHIP TEAMS OF AT LEAST 3 STATES, TERRITORIES, AND/OR TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO IMPLEMENT CROSS-SECTOR SYSTEMS INTEGRATION MODELS; 4) DELIVER AND TRACK UNIVERSAL TA TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF TITLE V AGENCIES THAT HAVE SELECTED PERFORMANCE MEASURES RELATED TO IMPROVING AYA HEALTH AND/OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH; AND 5) DELIVER AND TRACK TRAINING AND TA TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STATE, TERRITORY, AND TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE IMPLEMENTATION OF SYSTEMS INTEGRATION M ODELS TO IMPROVE YOUTH HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. THE PROPOSED CSI-AYAH WILL EXPLICITLY FOCUS ON FOSTERING HEALTH EQUITY. THE NCC BRINGS DECADES OF EXPERIENCE SUPPORTING DIVERSE AYA POPULATIONS, IMPROVING SYSTEMS AND SERVICES THAT CARE FOR THEM, AND PROVIDING TA, TRAINING, AND EDUCATION TO DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF AYA. THE NCC PARTNERS NOT ONLY HAVE THE EXPERTISE, KNOWLEDGE, AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUCCESSFULLY SUPPORT STATES, TERRITORIES, AND TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS TO INTEGRATE SOC TO PROMOTE AYA HEALTH AND WELLBEING, BUT THEY ALSO WILL INTENTIONALLY ENGAGE AYA AND FAMILIES IN PROGRAM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.

MEETING THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF CHILDREN

SAFE INFANT SLEEP SYSTEMS INTEGRATION (SISSI) PROGRAM - APPROXIMATELY 3,500 INFANTS DIE ANNUALLY IN THE UNITED STATES (US) FROM SLEEP-RELATED DEATHS, OR SUDDEN UNEXPECTED INFANT DEATH (SUID). IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE, SUID IS THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH OVERALL. ALTHOUGH SUID IMPACTS ALL COMMUNITIES, SLEEP-RELATED DEATHS HAVE NOTABLE AND PERSISTENT RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES, WITH NON-HISPANIC BLACK AND AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE INFANTS EXPERIENCING A RATE TWICE THAT OF NON-HISPANIC WHITE INFANTS. THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO ADDRESS SUID AND SUID-RELATED HEALTH DISPARITIES TO ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ALL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. BECAUSE OF THEIR TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS AND FREQUENT CONTACT WITH FAMILIES OF INFANTS, PEDIATRIC HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO MITIGATE SUID-RELATED RISK. THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS (AAP) HAS BEEN A TRUSTED AND VALUED LEADER IN SUID PREVENTION SINCE THE BACK TO SLEEP CAMPAIGN IN THE 1990S. THE AAP TASK FORCE ON SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME HAS PUBLISHED THE LEADING RECOMMENDATIONS AROUND SAFE SLEEP FOR SEVERAL DECADES, AND THE AAP DIRECTS NUMEROUS SAFE INFANT SLEEP, INJURY PREVENTION, AND FATALITY REVIEW INITIATIVES AIMED AT EQUIPPING PEDIATRIC HEALTH PROVIDERS WITH TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO IMPACT THEIR PRACTICE AND COMMUNITIES. THIS EXPERTISE PLACES THE AAP IN A PRIME POSITION TO ADDRESS SUID, PARTICULARLY AMONG POPULATIONS THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN MARGINALIZED AND EXCLUDED. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO REDUCE OVERALL RATES OF SUID AND SUID-RELATED RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES. THE PROPOSED INITIATIVE WILL LEVERAGE THE AAPS VAST INFRASTRUCTURE AND NETWORKS TO:1) IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE SAFE INFANT SLEEP STATE AND COMMUNITY BEST PRACTICES THROUGH A DIVERSE NATIONAL COALITION, 2) INCREASE PEDIATRIC PROVIDERS’ AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, AND USE OF FATALITY REVIEW DATA, FINDINGS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS, AND 3) ENGAGE PEDIATRIC PROVIDERS IN ASSISTING CAREGIVERS/FAMILIES TO CREATE SAFE SLEEP ENVIRONMENTS BOTH THROUGH IMPRO VEMENTS IN DIRECT PATIENT CARE AND PARTICIPATION ON FATALITY REVIEW AND COMMUNITY ACTION TEAMS (CATS) TO ADDRESS SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS AND COMMUNITY-LEVEL POLICY OPPORTUNITIES. AN INITIAL ACTIVITY WILL BE TO WORK WITH NATIONAL COALITION REPRESENTATIVES TO BUILD STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE AND MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT. ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE 3-YEARS WILL INCLUDE CREATING A UNIFIED, CROSS-DISCIPLINE NATIONAL COALITION; GENERATING MECHANISMS TO BRIDGE PEDIATRIC PROVIDERS WITH LOCAL FATALITY REVIEW TEAMS; FOSTERING MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH GRAND ROUND SERIES AND LEARNING COMMUNITIES; AND CONDUCTING A COMPREHENSIVE AND ROBUST EVALUATION THAT CONTRIBUTES TO BOTH PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT AND IMPROVED OUTCOMES. REDUCING RATES OF SUID AND SUID-RELATED HEALTH DISPARITIES IS A COMPLEX CHALLENGE, YET ONE THAT CAN BE EFFECTIVELY MET BY THE CAPACITY AND EXPERTISE OF THE AAP AND ITS EXTRAORDINARY PARTNERS, EACH OF WHOM BRINGS CRITICAL AND UNPARALLELED EXPERTISE IN SUID PREVENTION, FATALITY REVIEW, COMMUNITY IMPLEMENTATION, AND FAMILY REPRESENTATION. THE AAP IS HONORED TO SUBMIT THE CURRENT APPLICATION, REQUESTING $500,000 ANNUALLY ACROSS THE 3-YEAR PROJECT PERIOD.

ENHANCING SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH TRAINING, EDUCATION, ASSISTANCE, MENTORING, AND SUPPORT (TEAMS) - CREATED IN 1935, THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS (AAP) IS A NATIONAL MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION OF OVER 67,000 PEDIATRICIANS AND CHILD HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WITH A LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND YOUNG ADULTS. THROUGH ITS INFRASTRUCTURE OF BOARD-APPOINTED AND MEMBER-SELECTED NATIONAL COMMITTEES AND COUNCILS, THE AAP BRINGS ABUNDANT SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE IN SCHOOL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH (MH), AND CHRONIC CONDITION MANAGEMENT. LEVERAGING THIS EXPERTISE, THE AAP IS UNPARALLELED IN ITS CAPACITY TO CREATE MENTAL HEALTH AND SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES POLICY BASED ON BEST PRACTICES AND EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH, AND TO TRANSLATE POLICY INTO PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS IN SCHOOLS AND IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS VIA EDUCATION AND SUPPORT. PURPOSE: THE PROPOSED APPLICATION ADDRESSES THE SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES PRIORITY AREA, AND WILL ACHIEVE THE OUTCOMES IDENTIFIED IN THE NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY (NOFO) BY UTILIZING THE AAP ENHANCING SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH AND MH SERVICES THROUGH TRAINING, EDUCATION, ASSISTANCE, MENTORING, AND SUPPORT (TEAMS) MODEL. THE PROPOSED “TEAMS PROJECT” WILL INCORPORATE TEAMS TO PROVIDE TA, SPECIALIZED PD AND TRAINING, AND INTENSIVE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT TO DEVELOP, IMPLEMENT, AND EVALUATE EVIDENCE-BASED POLICIES, PRACTICES, AND PROGRAMS THAT EXPAND ACCESS TO PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, IMPROVE THE DELIVERY OF SCHOOL-BASED MH AND HEALTH SERVICES, INCREASE REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES, AND IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS. PROGRAM OUTCOMES WILL FURTHER BE ACCOMPLISHED BY LEVERAGING PARTNERSHIPS VIA A TWO-PRONG APPROACH: 1) CREATING A TRAINING-OF-TRAINERS (TOT) CADRE TO WORK WITH SEAS, STATE HEALTH/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AGENCIES, AND OTHER PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, TO BUILD THEIR CAPACITY TO TRAIN SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THEIR STATE, AND 2) WORKING DIRECTLY WITH CDC-FUNDED DISTRICTS AND/OR SCHOOLS THAT ARE LOCATED IN STATES THAT DID NOT APPLY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TEAMS PROGRAM TOT TO INCREASE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AMONG STUDENTS AND STAFF. BOTH APPROACHES WILL BE SUPPORTED WITH THE CREATION, PROMOTION, AND USE OF EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS AND RESOURCES. OUTCOMES (OUTCOMES IN BOLD WILL BE MEASURED AS REQUIRED BY CDC): THE TEAMS PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES BY THE END OF THE PROJECT PERIOD: 1) INCREASED ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE THE USE OF APPROPRIATE HEALTH PROMOTION STRATEGIES; 2) INCREASED USE OF CDC AND OTHER EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING (A) DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL HEALTH TOOLS AND RESOURCES THAT PROMOTE HEALTH EQUITY, (B) CDC-FUNDED SEAS, DISTRICTS, OR SCHOOLS USING CDC AND OTHER EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS AND RESOURCES, AND (C) TOOLS AND RESOURCES DEVELOPED THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN HEALTH, EDUCATION AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO ASSESS SCHOOL HEALTH POLICIES, PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS; 3) INCREASED ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED SCHOOL HEALTH POLICIES, PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS AMONG STATE EDUCATION AGENCIES, DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS, INCLUDING (A) DEVELOPMENT OF, REVISION, OR ADAPTATION OF SCHOOL HEALTH POLICIES ALIGNED WITH THE WSCC APPROACH AND/OR IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT SCHOOL HEALTH IN CDC-FUNDED SEAS, DISTRICTS OR SCHOOLS; 4) DEMONSTRATED EXPANSION OF SCHOOL-BASED MH AND HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING (A) IMPLEMENTATION OF SCHOOL-BASED MH AND HEALTH SERVICES IN THE CDC-FUNDED SEAS, DISTRICTS, AND SCHOOLS, AND 5) INCREASED SYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENTS THAT SUPPORT THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS AND SCHOOL STAFF.

NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS PRENATAL ALCOHOL AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE AND FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDERS - PEDIATRIC CLINICIANS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM, AS THEY TYPICALLY PARTICIPATE IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE THREE CORE PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE FUNCTIONS: ASSESSMENT (ASSESSING A CHILD’S HEALTH STATUS AND HEALTH NEEDS), ASSURANCE (ENSURING THAT NECESSARY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED), AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT. PEDIATRIC CLINICIANS ARE IN AN OPTIMAL POSITION TO ADDRESS HEALTH DISPARITIES FACING CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES DUE TO THE TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS AND EARLY AND FREQUENT POINTS OF CONTACT THEY HAVE WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO STRENGTHEN THE PEDIATRIC HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE TO FOSTER A MORE COMPETENT, CURRENT, AND CONNECTED PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM, AND IMPROVE DELIVERY OF ESSENTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS (AAP) WILL PROVIDE CAPACITY-BUILDING ASSISTANCE (CBA) TO IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES AIMED AT IMPROVING: 1) PEDIATRICIANS’ CAPACITY TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVING WITH ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE USE, 2) PATIENT- AND FAMILY-CENTERED APPROACHES THAT ADVANCE ACCESS TO CARE, AND 3) IDENTIFICATION AND HEALTH OF CHILDREN LIVING WITH PRENATAL ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE EXPOSURE AND FASD. THE CBA WILL BE PLANNED AND IMPLEMENTED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A PROPOSED PROGRAM TO ENHANCE PEDIATRIC CAPACITY TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WITH PRENATAL SUBSTANCE EXPOSURES AND FASD (“FASD PROGRAM”) THAT WILL BRING MORE VISIBILITY TO FASD-RELATED PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES FOR AAP MEMBERS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, FACILITATE LEVERAGING OF AND COORDINATION WITH OTHER AAP ACTIVITIES, AND FOSTER CONNECTIONS BETWEEN KEY STAKEHOLDERS. THE AAP HAS BEEN PRIVILEGED TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) FOR MORE THAN A DECADE ON FASD INITIATIVES, AND HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS CAPABILITY, EXPERTISE, RESOURCES, AND NATIONAL REACH IN CAPACITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES FOR PEDIATRIC CLINICIANS ACROSS NUMEROUS PROJECTS. BUILDING ON THIS EXPERIENCE AND THE PUBLIC-HEALTH FOCUSED MISSION OF THE AAP TO ATTAIN OPTIMAL PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SOCIAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR ALL INFANTS, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS, THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING: DETERMINING THE NEEDS OF THE PEDIATRIC PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE, DEVELOPING TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES, ENHANCING AND CULTIVATING PARTNERSHIPS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS, FOSTERING CONCRETE AND COLLABORATIVE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN AAP CHAPTERS AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH ENTITIES, AND STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS TO DISSEMINATE AAP EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT PUBLIC HEALTH. THE INITIATIVES OF THE FASD PROGRAM WILL CULTIVATE A SHARED VISION FOR STRENGTHENING THE NATION’S PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE BY ADDRESSING PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES, EMERGING TRENDS, KNOWLEDGE, AND CROSS-CUTTING SKILLSETS TO BUILD CAPACITY AT ALL LEVELS. THIS SHARED VISION AND RELATED INITIATIVES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE AAP MISSION TO ATTAIN OPTIMAL PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SOCIAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR ALL INFANTS, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND YOUNG ADULTS. THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES WILL STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY OF PEDIATRIC CLINICIANS TO ADDRESS PRESSING PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS FACING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, THEREBY LEADING TO A MORE CURRENT, COMPETENT, CONNECTED PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM; IMPROVED DELIVERY OF ESSENTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES; AND IMPROVED PEDIATRIC HEALTH OUTCOMES.
