This targeted literature review synthesizes recent research to explore how programs can advance racial equity for Black youth to address SRH disparities. Incorporating perspectives from an expert panel and a rigorous review of studies from 2014 to 2024, the findings highlight three themes: (a) providing tailored, culturally responsive programs, (b) shifting from deficit frameworks to strengths-based approaches, and (c) amplifying and uplifting the voices of Black youth in program design and implementation. Evidence points to the need for SRH interventions that directly confront structural inequities and embrace frameworks such as reproductive justice, critical consciousness while acknowledging the diverse identities, and experiences of Black youth. The review underscores the importance of intersectionality, youth engagement, and community-driven solutions as foundations for promoting and advancing equity.

This commentary argues that boys' health disparities (such as higher rates of premature mortality from violence, injury, and substance use) are deeply gendered outcomes, rooted in social expectations of risk-taking, stoicism, and dominance. Using evidence from the Global Burden of Disease Study and contemporary gender theory, we argue that gender affects girls' as much as boys' health. We further contend that the gender approaches have been underutilized for understanding and addressing boys' vulnerabilities. Reframing gender-transformative practice to include boys as subjects of care, not only as allies, expands the scope of gender justice. Rather than pitting genders against one another, an inclusive approach to gender and health recognizes that transforming harmful norms benefits all adolescents. Cultivating empathy, care, and emotional literacy among boys is not an act of diversion but one of solidarity, reinforcing collective well-being. Integrating a gender lens across all adolescent health programming is essential to move from competition toward collaboration in the pursuit of equity and human flourishing.</p>","PeriodicalId":520803,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
