After the 1991 IAAH international congress held in Montreux, the Swiss Association for Adolescent Health has created a prize which is delivered every four to five years during the IAAH international congresses. The first prize was delivered in 1995 in Vancouver.

The amount of the price is 1000 US$. The travel to and participation in the meeting are taken over by the SAAH.
