There are many national health observance days, weeks, or months. The savvy health professional can use these observances as opportunities to promote health messages, programs, and policies. We created 26 two-page Adolescent Health Observance “Quick-Guides” to guide adolescent health promotion efforts. This brief training video goes over the sections of the Adolescent Health Quick- Guides, how to use them, and where to find them. The Quick-Guide User Guide (PDF) is also available for download.
