The Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) Adolescent Interest Group began in 1999 and is a collection of physicians and staff members from the Foundation's health education, psychiatry, research, family medicine, pediatrics and administration departments. The group is chaired by Nancy Brown, Ph.D., of PAMF's Research Institute. The teen health projects are funded by private donations, local organizations and money from PAMF's Education Division. Local parents, teachers and other community members help review content and guide the development of new content areas.
