Adolescent Health / Youth Health Improvement Initiative (YHII)

 

The Youth Health Improvement Initiative (YHII) began in 2001 through partnership between Vermont Maternal and Child Health (MCH), the Vermont Child Health Improvement Program (VCHIP), Vermont Medicaid and private insurers. Since 2001, the project has influenced over 70 pediatric and family medicine practices across the state of Vermont. 

Currently, our efforts are targeted at understanding why adolescents do not access annual well visits with Vermont providers who are well trained to deliver excellent, comprehensive services. 

 

Adolescent and Young Adult Toolkit is full of information regarding the health of adolescents and young adults, including direct web links, posters, brochures, a practice specific editable form, research articles and more. Take a peak at each section and take advantage of the resources at your disposal.
