Development of a set of SRH competencies for all health care providers Equates SRH with other important health issues not just a lifestyle issue Develop quality indicators based upon competencies Approach HEDIS to develop new SRH indicator(s) Office of Population Affairs should take the lead, working with CDC and family planning organizations
