Abstract

Background: Adolescents are vulnerable to the transmission of COVID-19. Compared to the other age groups, teenagers have a lower knowledge of health protocols. This situation can lead to the continuous increase in the number of COVID-19 cases although the application of health protocols following CDC guidelines is already in place globally. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine adolescents knowledge about COVID-19 preventive measures according to CDC guidelines. Method: This study is a cross-sectional study with the snowball sampling method. It was conducted by distributing digital questionnaires in October 2021 to adolescents aged 12-18 years. Furthermore, a descriptive analysis related to knowledge and its differences was done based on the characteristics of adolescents. Result: About 80% of adolescents had good knowledge about COVID-19 preventive measures according to CDC guidelines. However, most of the adolescents did not have sufficient knowledge about proper handwashing, proper use and care of masks, and social distancing. Conclusion: Adolescent knowledge about the application of health protocols according to CDC guidelines needs to be improved. Educational interventions are needed to educate adolescents about health protocols against COVID-19.

基于疾病预防控制中心指南的青少年COVID-19预防知识

背景:青少年易受COVID-19传播的影响。与其他年龄组相比，青少年对健康协议的了解程度较低。这种情况可能导致COVID-19病例数持续增加，尽管全球已经按照疾病预防控制中心的指导方针实施了卫生方案。目的:根据美国疾病控制与预防中心指南，了解青少年对COVID-19预防措施的了解情况。方法:采用滚雪球抽样法进行横断面研究。该调查于2021年10月向12-18岁的青少年分发了数字问卷。在此基础上，结合青少年的特点，对知识及其差异进行了描述性分析。结果:约80%的青少年对COVID-19的预防措施有良好的了解。然而，大多数青少年对正确洗手、正确使用和护理口罩以及保持社交距离缺乏足够的知识。结论:青少年对CDC指南健康方案应用的了解有待提高。需要采取教育干预措施，对青少年进行关于COVID-19卫生方案的教育。
