Adolescent & Young Adult SWG

据估计，有 400 万年龄在 10-24 岁的青少年和年轻人 (AYA) 生活在 艾滋病毒感染者以及该年龄组中新发感染者的比例稳定较高， 迫切需要重点关注优化该人群的预防和治疗，这是一个重点 参与“结束美国流行病计划”和全球 90-90-90 倡议。他们独特的多 多方面的发展阶段往往会导致护理过程中出现较差的结果 从检测到病毒抑制的连续过程。约翰霍普金斯大学青少年和年轻人 科学工作组 (AYA SWG) 的首要任务是促进跨学科研究 通过开发以下内容，在 AYA 健康和艾滋病毒交叉领域开展研究合作： 1) 解决 13-25 岁 AYA 关键科学差距的创新方法； 2) 交叉 学科研究，以了解和减轻国内外 AYA 中的艾滋病毒流行情况 国际环境；并为下一步提供指导、支持和试点资金 一代艾滋病毒研究人员； 3）促进基于研究的政策和实践 通过让利益相关者（包括青年、研究人员、政策）参与来影响 AYA 人群 创客和实践者，通过 AYA SWG 开发了多层次的生命历程框架。的 AYA SWG 由多元化的人员（许多来自代表性不足的人群 (URP)）和 SOM、SPH 和 SPH 各个部门的敬业的教职员工团队 儿子。这是首个此类 SWG，通过现有和新 AYA 的协调努力 多学科研究人员、CFAR 核心、SWG 和举措；和社区（包括 AYA本身），将增强开发和进行跨学科研究的能力 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.
