This guide uses two case studies to demonstrate the value of the State team approach. The remainder of the document describes the experiences and activities of the State teams in the Northeast; the products developed by the teams for teens, parents, employers, school staff, health care providers, and others who can help protect young people from injury on the job; and key resources for other States interested in creating their own State teams.
