<p class="MsoNormal">(2)  What are the strengths and limitations of comprehensive health care centers when compared with other service models (such as standard care systems or special population centers) in addressing adolescent health care needs?  What service models show significant promise in offering primary care as well as prevention, treatment, and health promotion services for selected disorders (such as asthma or substance use) and special adolescent populations (such as youth in foster care or juvenile detention)? <p class="MsoNormal">(3)  What organizational settings and finance strategies promote interest in, access to, and use of health care services by adolescents?  Do important differences occur in the utility and outcomes of different service models within selected adolescent populations on the basis of social class, urbanicity, ethnicity, gender, age, or risk status? <p class="MsoNormal">(4)  What kinds of training programs for health care providers are necessary to improve the quality of health care for adolescent populations?  What innovative strategies have been developed to address concerns about decision making, privacy, confidentiality, consent, and parental notification in adolescent health care settings? <p class="MsoNormal">(5)  What policies, mechanisms, and contexts promote the integration of adolescent health care, health promotion, and youth development services?  What barriers impede the optimal provision of adolescent health services?  What strategies help adolescents to engage with and navigate the health care system, especially those at significant risk for health disorders in areas such as sexual and reproductive health, substance use, mental health, violence, and diet? <p class="MsoNormal">The study will include five committee meetings, a comprehensive literature review; commissioned papers, and site visits as part of the data collection.  The committee will also convene two workshops for (1) research and health care service experts, and (2) community and youth leaders.  Summaries for each workshop will be prepared, and at the conclusion of the study, a final committee consensus report will be prepared. <p class="MsoNormal">Funding for this 2-year study is provided to The National Academies by the Atlantic Philanthropies (USA), Inc. <p class="MsoNormal"><b>You can submit written comments to the NRC committee any time throughout the study process through the FEEDBACK link on the following website: </b> <p class="MsoNormal"><a class="linkTextBlock" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060901064350/http://www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/projectview.aspx?key=48673">http://www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/projectview.aspx?key=48673</a> <p class="MsoNormal">  </td> </tr> </table> </span><br/><br/>  <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="4" height="1" class="ListSection"> <span id="Body__ctl0__ctl0_loader__ctl0_ProjectMeetings_EventListTitle">Project Meetings</span> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="20"> </td> <td> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/12552/35625/35631.aspx">Meeting #1</a> </td> <td align="right" nowrap> Jul 20, 2006 </td> </tr> </table> <br/> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="16" nowrap><br/></td> </tr>  <tr> <td width="18" nowrap></td> <td>  <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <span style="font-size:7;"><br/></span> <img src="/web/20060901064350im_/http://www.iom.edu/Layouts/iom_may_2005/Images/pixel_darkgray.gif" height="1" width="100%"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="true"> <span id="LastUpdated">Last Updated: 7/07/2006, 10:55 AM</span> </td> <td width="100%" align="right"> <span id="RSS" class="RSS"><a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/31457.aspx">RSS</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="16"><br/> </td> </tr> </table> <br/> </td> <td width="225" valign="top" align="right"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </span></span> <span id="Footer">   <img src="/web/20060901064350im_/http://www.iom.edu/Layouts/iom_may_2005/Images/pixel_clear.gif" width="1" height="10" border="0" alt=""/><br/> <img src="/web/20060901064350im_/http://www.iom.edu/Layouts/iom_may_2005/Images/pixel_darkgray.gif" width="100%" height="1" border="0" alt=""/><br/> <img src="/web/20060901064350im_/http://www.iom.edu/Layouts/iom_may_2005/Images/pixel_clear.gif" width="1" height="10" border="0" alt=""/><br/>  <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td class="small" nowrap="true">  <span class="HighlightText"> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/">Home</a> <span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/3239.aspx">About</a> <span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/2956.aspx">Topics</a> <span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/2954.aspx">Projects</a><span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/2951.aspx">Memberships</a><span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/2953.aspx">Boards</a> <span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/2957.aspx">Events</a> <span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/2955.aspx">Reports</a> <span class="HighlightText2">|</span> <a href="/web/20060901064350/http://www.iom.edu/CMS/3237.aspx">Sitemap</a> </span> <br/> </td> <td width="100%"></td> <td rowspan="2" width="219" valign="top" align="right">  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060901064350/http://www.nationalacademies.org/" target="_blank"><img src="/web/20060901064350im_/http://www.iom.edu/Layouts/iom_may_2005/Images/Footer/nationalacademies_logo.gif" width="219" height="37" border="0" alt="The logo of the National Acadamies.
