Adolescent & Young Adult SWG

估计有400万10-24岁的青少年和年轻人（AYA）生活在 艾滋病毒感染者和这一年龄组中新感染者的比例一直很高， 是一个关键需要集中在优化预防和治疗这一人口，一个关键的重点， 结束美国的流行病计划和全球90-90-90倡议。其独特的多- 多方面的发展阶段往往有助于较差的结果被视为沿沿着照顾 从测试到病毒抑制的连续性。约翰霍普金斯青少年和年轻人 科学工作组（AYA SWG）的首要使命是促进跨学科 通过开发以下项目，在AYA健康和艾滋病毒的交叉领域开展研究合作： 1)创新方法，以解决13-25岁的AYA的关键科学差距; 2）跨 学科研究，以了解和减轻艾滋病毒流行的AYA在国内和 国际环境;以及指导、支持和提供下一个 艾滋病毒研究人员的一代;和3）促进研究知情的政策和做法， 通过参与利益相关者，包括青年，研究人员，政策制定者， 制造商和从业者，整个AYA SWG制定了多层次的生命历程框架。的 AYA SWG由多样化的（许多来自代表性不足的人群（URP））和 致力于跨越SOM，SPH和 儿子这是第一个此类SWG，通过现有和新的AYA的协调努力， 多学科研究人员、CFAR核心、SWG和倡议;以及社区（包括 AYA本身），将提高发展和开展跨学科研究的能力 与巴尔的摩及其他地区的AYA相关，为JHU CFAR及其 目标.

With an estimated 4 million adolescents and young adults (AYA) ages 10-24 years of age living with HIV and a steadily high proportion of new infections occurring among this age group, there is a critical need to focus on optimizing prevention and treatment of this population, a key focus in the Ending the Epidemic Plan for America and the global 90-90-90 initiative. Their unique multi- faceted developmental stage often contributes to the poorer outcomes being seen along the care continuum from testing to viral suppression. The Johns Hopkins Adolescent and Young Adult Scientific Working Group's (AYA SWG) overarching mission is to promote interdisciplinary research collaborations across the intersecting domains of AYA health and HIV by developing: 1) innovative approaches to address critical scientific gaps for AYAs aged 13-25; 2) cross- disciplinary research to understand and mitigate the HIV epidemic among AYA in domestic and international settings; and mentoring, supporting, and providing pilot funding for the next generation of HIV researchers; and 3) promoting research-informed policies & practices that impact AYA populations through engaging stakeholders, including youth, researchers, policy makers and practitioners, across the AYA SWG developed multi-level life course framework. The AYA SWG, consists of a diverse (many from underrepresented populations (URPs)) and committed group of faculty and staff spanning various departments across the SOM, SPH, and SON. This, first of its kind SWG, through a coordinated effort involving existing and new AYA multidisciplinary researchers, CFAR Cores, SWGs, and initiatives; and the community (including the AYA themselves), will enhance the capacity to develop and conduct interdisciplinary research relevant to AYA in Baltimore and beyond, providing added overall value to the JHU CFAR and its goals.
