AAP Affirmed Clinical Practice Guidelines

These guidelines are not endorsed as Policy of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Documents that lack a clear description of the process for identifying, assessing, and incorporating research evidence are not eligible for AAP endorsement as practice guidelines. However, such documents may be of educational value to members of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and are eligible for the second tier of AAP endorsement.
