减少COVID-19传播的社交距离措施可能会对年轻人的人际关系产生深远影响。这项研究比较了青少年和年轻人的浪漫关系和性活动之前和之后的社会距离政策颁布。2020年6月，351名参与加州弗雷斯诺县一项持续干预研究的青年完成了一项关于他们与COVID-19相关经历的在线调查。该调查包括关于他们的浪漫关系，性活动以及社交距离限制之前和期间的在线浪漫或性互动的开放式和封闭式问题。我们使用卡方独立性检验来比较青少年（13-17岁）和年轻人（18-21岁）的反应。结果还与干预研究基线调查的反应进行了比较。三分之一（37%）的年轻人正在约会或处于浪漫关系中，28%的年轻人在COVID-19大流行早期与伴侣共度时光。在约会或恋爱的人中，34%的人由于父母对COVID-19的限制而与伴侣保持身体距离。在大流行病期间，青年人与其伴侣面对面相处的时间也比以前少。虽然大多数青年（69%）在大流行之前或期间没有性活跃，但22%的人在社交距离期间发生了性行为。在限制期间，年轻人比青少年更有可能与伴侣共度时光并发生性关系。在大流行之前或期间，大多数青年人都没有参与色情短信或网上约会。在COVID-19大流行期间，青少年和年轻人继续进行性和浪漫关系，尽管许多人报告与伴侣保持身体距离。结果表明，在COVID-19大流行等紧急情况下，青年人仍然需要获得性健康教育和服务。
Social distancing measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 may profoundly impact young people’s relationships. This study compared adolescent and young adults’ romantic relationships and sexual activity before and after social distancing policies were enacted. In June 2020, 351 youth participating in an ongoing intervention study in Fresno County, California completed an online survey about their experiences related to COVID-19. The survey included open and closed-ended questions about their romantic relationships, sexual activity, and online romantic or sexual interactions before and during social distancing restrictions. We used the chi-square test of independence to compare adolescent (ages 13–17) and young adults’ (ages 18–21) responses. Results were also compared to responses in the intervention study’s baseline survey. One-third (37%) of youth were dating or in a romantic relationship and 28% spent time in person with a partner early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Among those dating or in a relationship, 34% physically distanced from their partner due to parental restrictions related to COVID-19. Youth also spent less time in person with their partners during the pandemic than before. Although most youth (69%) were not sexually active before or during the pandemic, 22% had sex during the social distancing period. Young adults were more likely to spend time with their partners and have sex during the restrictions than adolescents. Most youth were not involved in sexting or online dating, before or during the pandemic. Adolescents and young adults have continued to engage in sexual and romantic relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic, although many reported physical distancing from their partners. Results suggest that youth continue to need access to sexual health education and services during emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
