Summary

This animated video highlights the importance of adolescents and young adults in our response to COVID-19 and provides adolescent and young adult-specific considerations for future COVID-19 control measures.

The video was developed by the NYU Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health (CLAFH), whose work focuses on fostering the role of families in promoting adolescent and young adult health, including the prevention of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, unplanned pregnancies, and most recently, COVID-19 transmission.

CLAFH in collaboration with the Center for Drug Use and HIV Research (CDUHR), and as part of the federal RADx-UP COVID-19 response initiative, is currently developing an innovative nurse-community health worker-family intervention to promote uptake of COVID-19 testing, household COVID mitigation measures, and reach of future COVID-19 vaccines in underserved communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
