SAHM 2024 Annual Meeting

Maximizing Adolescent and Young Adult Health through Structure and Agency
Maximización de la salud de adolescentes y adultos jóvenes a través de la estructura y la agencia

Wednesday, March 13 – Saturday, March 16, 2024
Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina
San Diego, California USA

 2024 Annual Meeting 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.

Las poderosas estructuras sociales injustas limitan el acceso equitativo a resultados de vida ‎positivos para muchos adolescentes y adultos jóvenes (AAJ). La “estructura” postula que los ‎procesos y arreglos sociales existentes determinan las oportunidades disponibles para ‎individuos y grupos. La “agencia” afirma que los individuos y los grupos pueden actuar para ‎influir el futuro dentro de las limitaciones actuales o percibidas. Lo invitamos a participar en ‎una conversación colectiva sobre cómo podemos maximizar la salud de los adolescentes y ‎adultos jóvenes a través de la estructura y la agencia. Durante la Reunión Anual de SAHM de ‎‎2024, diversos profesionales de la salud de todo el mundo que prestan servicios a AAJ ‎colaborarán de manera interprofesional para compartir, discutir y criticar pensamientos sobre ‎las estructuras existentes en nuestros sistemas actuales (es decir, clínica, educativa, ‎investigación, salud pública, abogacía, y social) que impiden la salud y el bienestar de AAJs; ‎estructuras que podrían usarse para maximizar la salud de AAJ; y cómo promover de manera ‎más efectiva la agencia individual y colectiva para garantizar que todos los jóvenes tengan ‎acceso pleno y equitativo a vidas seguras, saludables, productivas y significativas.‎
