"Talking With Your Doctor, Nurse and Other Health Care Professionals" is a product of the Health Care Transition Initiative of the Institute for Child Health Policy (ICHP) at the University of Florida and was developed under a contract (COQMQ) from Florida's Children's Medical Services Program (Florida Department of Health) to ICHP.

The GLADD approach to talking with doctors is based on the HealthPACT™ program, which was developed at the University of Colorado, School Health Programs, Denver, Colorado. Our thanks to Judith B. Igoe, RN, MS, FAAN for sharing information about her HealthPACT™ Program.

Thanks also to Susan Horky, MSW, Pediatric Pulmonary Program, Rebecca Brown, MA, Director of the Streetlight Program, to other members of the faculty and staff of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Florida and to the many other colleagues who provided assistance in the development of this web site.

We would also like to recognize the important contributions of the young adults who spoke with us about living with a chronic health condition. They were our teachers.
