关于美国年轻人对COVID-19的看法或他们使用口罩的情况，我们知之甚少。缩小这一差距可以促进信息传递，以促进COVID-19风险缓解行为。2020年7月，向1087名14-24岁的青少年发送了一份包含五个问题的短信调查。问题评估了年轻人对感染COVID-19的可能性、感染COVID-19对他们生活的潜在影响、将COVID-19传播给他人的可能性以及他们在与自己不住在一起的人周围使用面罩的看法。编码是为了将回应分配到离散的类别，并确定共同的主题。在1087名符合条件的参与者中，797名（73.3%）被纳入分析。在这些参与者中，27.3%的人认为他们可能会在未来几个月内感染COVID-19, 90.3%的人认为感染COVID-19会对他们的生活产生中等或重大影响，86.0%的人中度或非常担心COVID-19的传播，89.2%的人报告说他们一直或大部分时间都戴着口罩。影响口罩使用的因素包括避免感染和传播COVID-19的愿望、同行影响和政策要求。年轻人对感染COVID-19风险的看法各不相同，但大多数人认为，如果发生这种情况，他们的生活将受到不利影响。大多数年轻人担心新冠病毒的传播，因此戴上了口罩，但许多人在密切接触者周围时例外使用了口罩。如果公共卫生运动能够利用积极的同伴影响，并呼吁年轻人不要将COVID-19传播给他人，那么公共卫生运动可能是最有效的。
Little is known about the views of U.S. youth on COVID-19 or their use of face coverings. Closing this gap could facilitate messaging to promote COVID-19 risk mitigation behaviors. In July 2020, a five-question text message survey was sent to 1,087 youth aged 14–24 years. Questions assessed youths' perceptions regarding the likelihood of contracting COVID-19, the potential impact of contracting COVID-19 on their lives, the possibility of spreading COVID-19 to others, and their use of face coverings around others with whom they do not live. Coding was conducted to assign responses to discrete categories and to identify common themes. Of 1,087 eligible participants, 797 (73.3%) were included in analyses. Of these participants, 27.3% believed they would likely contract COVID-19 in the next few months, 90.3% believed contracting COVID-19 would have a moderate or significant impact on their lives, 86.0% were moderately or very concerned about spreading COVID-19, and 89.2% reported wearing face coverings all or most of the time. Factors affecting face covering use included the desire to avoid contracting and spreading COVID-19, peer influence, and policy mandates. Youths' perceptions regarding the risk of contracting COVID-19 varied, but most believed their lives would be adversely impacted if this occurred. Most youth were concerned about spreading COVID-19 and wore face coverings, but many made exceptions to face covering use when around close contacts. Public health campaigns may be most effective if they leverage positive peer influence and appeal to youths' desire not to spread COVID-19 to others.
