Abstract	Quality is fast becoming a policy priority in states and localities around the country.

This report takes a close look at efforts underway in three networks and provides a preliminary framework for thinking about key questions when planning any kind of program quality improvement work in the youth-serving sector. (Contains 9 figures.) [This report was written with Karen Pittman.] (As Provided).
