Abstract：
The COVID-19 pandemic was characterized by loneliness, especially among teenagers. This study explored the coping mechanisms, activities, challenges, places visited, and sources of support that predicted teenagers feeling connected to others during COVID-19. Data come from surveys administered in the United States and Canada in summer 2022. Multivariate logistic regression showed that producing personal protective equipment, supporting siblings, getting involved in the local community, becoming more politically active, and taking language classes were positively associated with connectedness. In addition, teens in Canada were more likely to feel connected to others than teens in the United States. These findings can inform policies to enhance resilience in teenagers during protracted crises.
摘要：
COVID-19大流行的特点是孤独，尤其是青少年。本研究探讨了应对机制，活动,挑战,参观过的地方,以及预测青少年在COVID-19期间感觉与他人有联系的支持来源。数据来自2022年夏季在美国和加拿大进行的调查。多因素logistic回归表明，生产个人防护装备，支持兄弟姐妹，参与当地社区，在政治上变得更加活跃，参加语言课程与连通性呈正相关。此外,与美国的青少年相比，加拿大的青少年更有可能感到与他人有联系。这些发现可以为政策提供信息，以增强青少年在长期危机中的复原力。
