Abstract
<title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> <p>The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related public health efforts limiting in-person social interactions present unique challenges to adolescents. Social media, which is widely used by adolescents, presents an opportunity to counteract these challenges and promote adolescent health and public health activism. However, public health organizations and officials underutilize social media to communicate with adolescents. Using well-established risk communication strategies, we identify current efforts and gaps, and propose recommendations to advance the use of social media risk communication for adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic and future disasters.</p>
