COVID-19 can have significant direct and indirect consequences for the health and well-being of young people. The objective of this publication is to contribute to the strengthening of a comprehensive response to young people and COVID-19 during the pandemic and in the recovery phase, to mitigate the short-, medium- and long-term consequences of COVID-19 for young people in the Americas, particularly those living in conditions of vulnerability. The publication summarizes relevant WHO and PAHO guidance, as well as recommendations from other United Nations partners, such as UNFPA and UNICEF. It also provides links to related resources and practical examples of actions taken by governments, youth leaders, and other stakeholders. Intended users include national and local decisionmakers, program managers, multidisciplinary teams working on adolescent and youth health and well-being, youth-serving and youth-led organizations, and young people.
