The Health Guidelines for Adolescent and Young Adult Males project is a collaborative endeavor to 1) identify promising clinical interventions, appropriate clinical settings and patient incentives for adolescent and young adult male health; 2) create clinical prevention guidelines for this population;  3) distribute and foster application of those guidelines in clinical practice; 4) foster relevant public and continuing medical education programs; and 5) promote public policies that will advance adoption of the guidelines in clinical practice.

The mission of The Boys Initiative is to shed light on declining achievement and wellbeing among boys and young men, to foster dialogue and debate about the issue, and to collaborate on solutions with those who are committed to the futures of our nation's youth.  The organization's principal role is to serve as a hub for information exchange and action among the broad range of organizations whose work touches on boys and young men.'
