The American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Adolescent Health (SOAH), founded in 1978, brings together both general pediatricians interested in adolescent health issues as well as adolescent medicine specialists. It provides an educational and networking forum with the goal of improving and enhancing the care of the adolescent population. The SOAH executive committee leadership works closely with the AAP Committee on Adolescence (COA) to bring policy and education together, both for providers and for the families/adolescents they serve.
