Multiple Impacts on Adolescent Well-Being During COVID-19 School Closures: Insights From Professionals for Future Policy Using a Conceptual Framework
Policymakers must recognize impacts of school closures during the pandemic on multiple domains of adolescent well-being and the potential for widening inequalities. Schools play a critical mitigating role that goes beyond education. The call to action for the adolescent health community is to recognize and address ongoing potential long-term impacts on well-being and inequalities in their everyday practice. It is also important to advocate locally, nationally, and globally for careful consideration of the consequences of school closures in future health crises.
