AAP policy statements are powerful, well-researched, and meticulously-reviewed principles on the state-of-the-art in children's health. Yesterday, the AAP released their latest Policy Statement: “Literacy Promotion: An Essential Component of Primary Care Pediatric Practice”, and an accompanying extensive Technical Report outlining the substantial supporting research evidence. Drs. Perri Klass and Pamela High, two of the lead authors of the AAP’s statement and report, join us to explain their work, and the recommendations for pediatricians, policy makers, and families.
