Abstract

The Journal of Adolescent Health (JAH) was launched in 1980. It is the official journal of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine (SAHM) which is based in the United States of America. SAHM is a multidisciplinary professional organization with strong domestic and international membership. JAH aims to mirror this as a multidisciplinary scientific journal dedicated to improving the health and well-being of all adolescents and young adults (AYAs). The journal is committed to promoting and improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at all levels, including within the leadership, the editorial board, peer reviewers, authors, and journal content. This is of fundamental importance in a scholarly journal dedicated to informing strategies to improve AYA health equity and reduce AYA health disparities across the globe. Within this context, dimensions of diversity related to geography and country income warrant specific focus.
