Abstract

Objective: In this investigation, we identify the questions youth in a low-income urban community asked healthcare providers about COVID-19. Methods: This formative qualitative study con-sisted of analyzing data collected using Poll Everywhere as part of 3 phone town halls with a pul-monary and critical care medicine physician and youth. Results: During the 3 town halls, there were 143 participants who asked 43 questions that were divided into 4 codes: Healthcare, Cure, General COVID-19, and Prevention. Conclusion: Youth have questions about healthy behaviors and treatment that can be answered in a low technology forum engagement with health profes-sionals. These results also underscore the need to continue health education discussions either through traditional school-based or alternate formats, especially as we anticipate COVID-19 to last during the next academic year.
