Guidelines
for Adolescent Preventive Services (GAPS)
The AMA's Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services
(GAPS) is a comprehensive set of recommendations for preventive
health services. The GAPS recommendations were designed
to be delivered ideally as a preventive services package
during a series of annual health visits between the ages
of 11-21. GAPS implementation materials include downloadable
questionnaires in English and Spanish.
The Parent Package is designed to help primary care providers
share important information about adolescence with parents.
There are 15 reproducible tip sheets in the package. Each
tip sheet addresses a different topic and contains useful
facts, parenting tips, and resources to help parents guide
their teens to become healthy, responsible, young adults. |
