Meningococcal Vaccine: A Position Statement of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 50Issue 2p211–212Published in issue: February, 2012- Lisa S. Ipp
- Cora C. Breuner
- Amy B. Middleman
- SAHM Committee on Adolescent Vaccination
Cited in Scopus: 0Although rates of meningococcal disease have remained low in the United States since 2000, the severity of the disease, rapidity with which it strikes, and significant sequelae remain compelling reasons to employ all means possible to prevent it. Meningococcal disease has a bimodal peak distribution in the United States with its highest incidence rates in infants and adolescents aged 16 years and older. The 2005 recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were intended to protect youth entering adolescence including individuals 16–21 years of age, the ages at which meningococcal disease rates peak for children and young adults. - Position paper of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
Financing Vaccines for Adolescents: A Position Paper of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 48Issue 3p320–321Published in issue: March, 2011- Elyse Olshen Kharbanda
- Grace M. Lee
- Laura Koenigs
- SAHM Committee on Adolescent Vaccination
Cited in Scopus: 5An increasing number of vaccines are now recommended for adolescents. These vaccines may greatly improve the health of adolescents and their communities. However, adolescent vaccine coverage rates lag behind those for infants and behind goals set by Healthy People 2010 [1]. Financial constraints have been reported to be a significant obstacle to immunizing adolescents and young adults [2]. At the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, we believe that to achieve increased vaccine coverage in this age group, financial barriers to immunization must be removed. - Position statement
School-Entry Vaccination Requirements: A Position Statement of the Society for Adolescent Medicine

- Norman A. Constantine

Cited in Scopus: 3Vaccination is considered one of the greatest public health achievements in the U.S. and the world, leading to the virtual eradication of poliomyelitis in North and South America, and of smallpox worldwide [1]. To a large extent, the success of vaccination in this country is due to compulsory school vaccination laws, which have ensured widespread coverage and minimized vaccine-related health disparities [2–4]. Although these laws frequently have been challenged, U.S. courts have consistently upheld states’ authority to require vaccination [5]. - Position statement
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine: A Position Statement of the Society for Adolescent Medicine
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 39Issue 4p620Published in issue: October, 2006- Lawrence S. Friedman

Cited in Scopus: 22Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide, causing genital warts and nearly all cases of cervical cancer. On June 8, 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved a three-dose HPV vaccine for use in females 9 to 26 years of age. The vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective in preventing infection with HPV types 16 and 18 (which cause approximately 70% of cervical cancers) as well as types 6 and 11 (which cause >90% of genital warts). As a prophylactic vaccine, it is most effective when administered before the onset of sexual activity. - Position paper
Abstinence-only education policies and programs: A position paper of the Society for Adolescent Medicine
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 38Issue 1p83–87Published in issue: January, 2006- John Santelli
- Mary A. Ott
- Maureen Lyon
- Jennifer Rogers
- Daniel Summers
Cited in Scopus: 128Abstinence from sexual intercourse represents a healthy choice for teenagers, as teenagers face considerable risk to their reproductive health from unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Remaining abstinent, at least through high school, is strongly supported by parents and even by adolescents themselves. However, few Americans remain abstinent until marriage, many do not or cannot marry, and most initiate sexual intercourse and other sexual behaviors as adolescents. - Position paper

Cited in Scopus: 19The Society for Adolescent Medicine issued its first position paper on the subject of HIV/AIDS in adolescents in 1994 [1]. In the ensuing decade, great progress has been made in our scientific understanding of the virus at the root of this 25-year pandemic, in the diagnosis and treatment of people living with HIV, and in the prevention of perinatal transmission. However, great challenges remain for those of us working to prevent HIV/AIDS in adolescents and young adults and to provide treatment and care and support for those who already are infected. - Position paper
Protecting adolescents: Ensuring access to care and reporting sexual activity and abuse: Position paper of the American Academy of Family Physicians, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and The Society for Adolescent Medicine
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 35Issue 5p420–423Published in issue: November, 2004- Society of Adolescent Medicine
Cited in Scopus: 22As physicians and other health care professionals, we have an ethical obligation to provide the best possible care for our adolescent patients. A key tenet for all health professionals is to ensure that adolescents have access to the health services they need, including sexual and reproductive health services. A medical evaluation that addresses sexual and reproductive health includes a careful assessment for abusive or unwanted sexual encounters and the reporting of such cases to the proper authorities. - Position paper
