Office of Population Affairs (OPA)

In 2019, the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) within the Population Affairs (OPA) supported a series of Adolescent Health Convenings to spur action and raise awareness around adolescent health issues with a primary focus on OASH and HHS priorities (e.g. opioids crisis, HPV coverage, rising STD rates, and the National Plan for Youth and Sports Participation, as well as medication assistance treatments as a subset of the opioid crisis). Six hosting organizations were selected representing regional stakeholders or partnering associations.

The hosting organizations were charged with utilizing the Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow® (TAG) as a framework, and to use the Convening to develop an action plan for future directions in practice, research.
