Abstract

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization of 53,000 pediatricians committed to the attainment of optimal physical, mental, and social health for all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Recognizing the major impact that violence has on children and youth, the AAP has been working to prevent and reduce violence and its effects on the pediatric population. This article will describe AAP efforts intended to help pediatricians, other professionals, and the public to combat the problem.
