Advocacy Resources from AAFP

AAFP State Advocacy: Backgrounders State policy happens quickly. To make sense of it all, the Center for State Policy has developed backgrounders on trending health policy proposals in the states. AAFP members can use these backgrounders to enhance their advocacy efforts or learn more about a particular issue.
