社交距离是一项重要的公共卫生建议，已实施以减少COVID-19的传播。年轻人群中的感染率正在上升，但对年轻人的社交距离行为知之甚少。我们的定性研究旨在探讨青少年参与社交距离，并阐明为什么遵循和打破指导方针的原因。全国MyVoice短信队列（14-24岁）的成员于2020年4月24日至4月30日通过开放式短信民意调查进行了调查。回答进行归纳编码和描述性统计分析。在944名回应的青年中（回应率= 81.2%），95%的人自我报告社交距离。然而，62%的人回忆起自己或他人违反准则的情况，19%的人对规则表示误解。值得注意的是，14%的年轻人表示，他们会鼓励朋友保持社交距离，告诉他们这将加速恢复正常生活。社交孤立感是社交距离最常见的负面影响（55%）。总体而言，青年的反应表明，在解释社会距离准则的显着差异。公共卫生传播可能需要解决几个影响青年社交距离行为的关键误解。此外，在保持社交距离期间，青年与同龄人互动的安全方法对于防止心理健康影响和确保遵守社交距离准则是必要的。
Social distancing is an important public health recommendation that has been implemented to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Infections are rising among younger populations, but relatively little is known about youth social distancing behavior. Our qualitative study aims to examine youth engagement with social distancing and elucidate the reasons why guidelines are followed and broken. Members of the national MyVoice Text Message Cohort (aged 14–24) were surveyed from April 24 to April 30, 2020, through an open-ended text message poll. Responses were inductively coded and analyzed with descriptive statistics. Of the 944 youth who responded (response rate = 81.2%), 95% self-reported social distancing. However, 62% recalled instances of themselves or others breaking the guidelines and 19% expressed misconceptions about the rules. Notably, 14% of youth said they would encourage their friends to social distance by telling them it will accelerate a return to normal life. Feelings of social isolation were the most frequently cited (55%) negative impact of social distancing. Overall, responses from youth indicate significant variation in the interpretation of social distancing guidelines. Public health communications may need to address several critical misconceptions which impact the social distancing behaviors of youth. Further, safe methods for youth to interact with peers during periods of social distancing are necessary to prevent mental health impacts and to ensure adherence to social distancing guidelines.
