Johns Hopkins Center for Adolescent Health

The mission of the Johns Hopkins Center for Adolescent Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is to address the health and health care needs of urban youth through applied research, communication, and education and training. The model that guides our work emphasizes the dynamic interaction between adolescents and the settings in which they live, study, work, and play. Our theme, Promoting the Health of Adolescents through Families and Communities, reflects the Center's collaborative approach to prevention research.
