• For the final week of @HHSPopAffairs’ #NationalAdolescentHealthMonth 2024, learn more about advancing health equity through eliminating health disparities and increasing cross-system coordination. https://opa.hhs.gov/nahm#week-four #HealthyYouthNAHM
• Many young people experience health disparities due to where they are born, grow, live, work, play, worship, and age. We must eliminate these disparities and allow adolescents to reach their fullest potential. @HHSPopAffairs #NationalAdolescentHealthMonth https://opa.hhs.gov/nahm#week-four
• To advance health equity for adolescents, systems that serve young people should increase their coordination & collaboration. Systems that work together can maximize resources, reduce duplication of efforts, and promote quality & transparency. #NationalAdolescentHealthMonth https://opa.hhs.gov/nahm#week-four

• Adolescents have multiple and diverse needs and require different supports to be healthy. Many young people experience health disparities that disproportionately affect their communities due to the systems and environments where they are born, grow, live, work, play, worship, and age. We allow them to reach their fullest potential by reducing the burden of disease, injury, and violence. Join the HHS Office of Population Affairs (OPA) during National Adolescent Health Month™ (NAHM™) to learn how you can eliminate disparities to advance health equity. https://opa.hhs.gov/nahm#week-four
• To advance health equity, increase coordination and collaboration within and across the systems serving young people (e.g., pediatric settings, social service programs, and the child welfare system). Coordination across settings and systems can maximize resources, reduce duplication of efforts, and promote quality and transparency. Improving the health of our nation’s young people pays off for generations to come.

During National Adolescent Health Month, we can work to advance adolescent health equity
Adolescents have multiple and diverse needs and require different supports to be healthy. We allow them to reach their fullest potential when we reduce the burden of disease, injury, and violence. Many young people experience health disparities that disproportionately affect their communities due to the systems and environments where they are born, grow, live, work, play, worship, and age. One way to reduce these drivers of health and to advance health equity is to increase coordination and collaboration within and across the systems serving young people (e.g., pediatric settings, social service programs, and the child welfare system). Learn more from the HHS Office of Population Affairs in recognition of National Adolescent Health Month™ (NAHM™).
