    80. Disparities in Perceived Vulnerability to COVID-19 Consequences Among U.S. Adolescents and Young Adults: Findings from a Nationally Representative Survey
    (Elsevier, 2021-02) Hensel, Devon J.; Rosenberg, Molly; Luetke, Maya; Herbenick, Debby; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Global research has documented the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of adolescents and young adults (AYA). Pandemic conditions can increase AYA vulnerability to COVID-19-related health (e.g. getting sick or missing medical appointments), social (e.g. not having enough to eat) and economic (e.g. job loss) consequences. Structural inequalities may further exacerbate exposure to these outcomes. We used nationally representative data to examine AYA perceived vulnerability to health/social outcomes early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
