10th Annual Adolescent and Young Adult Health Research Symposium

March 24, 2022

This symposium will focus on understanding the impact of racism and discrimination on adolescent health and considering strategies for addressing the structural inequities that function as barriers to adolescents thriving.

Target Audience

Scholars and practitioners interested in health equity, inclusion, diversity, racial equity, positive development of youth, adolescent health, community health, advocacy, translational research, health services research, clinical care, and education.

Learning Objectives

The goal of this symposium is to build clinicians and other youth-serving professionals’ capacity to 
1.    Understand the impact of structural inequities, bias-based discrimination, and systemic racism on adolescent health.  
2.    Acknowledge their own biases and the impact of these biases on care/service provision. 
3.    Advocate for innovative cross-sector partnerships and policies to promote optimal adolescent and young adult health and social outcomes. 

Racism and discrimination, including implicit and explicit biases, have a profound impact on the health and well-being of adolescents, their families, and their communities. To optimize patient care and improve adolescent health disparities we need to understand how racism and discrimination function in our personal and professional worlds and develop concrete strategies to address the individual and institutional practices that uphold racist and discriminatory practices.
