Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine (SAHM) 2024 Annual Meeting

Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine (SAHM) 2024 Annual Meeting is organized by Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine (SAHM) and will be held from Mar 13 - 16, 2024 at Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, San Diego, California, United States of America.

Theme: Maximizing Adolescent and Young Adult Health through Structure and Agency

Description:
Powerful unjust social structures limit equitable access to positive life outcomes for many adolescents and young adults (AYA). “Structure” posits that existing societal processes and arrangements determine the opportunities available for individuals and groups. “Agency” asserts that individuals and groups can act to influence the future amidst actual or perceived constraints. We invite you to participate in a collective conversation about how we can maximize adolescent and young adult health through structure and agency. During the 2024 Annual Meeting of SAHM, diverse AYA-serving health professionals from throughout the world, will collaborate interprofessionally to share, discuss, and critique thoughts about existing structures in our current systems (i.e., clinical, educational, research, public health, advocacy, and social) that impede AYA health and well-being; structures that could be used to maximize AYA health; and how to most effectively promote individual and collective agency to ensure that all young people have full and equitable access to safe, healthy, productive, and meaningful lives.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
