To explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black adolescent girls' physical, psychological, and sexual development.
Semistructured interviews were conducted with 25 girls (9-18 years old) primarily across the Midwestern United States. Interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation was reached. We conducted a conventional content analysis by reviewing transcripts, coding data, and developing themes.
Utilizing the social-ecological model findings revealed themes related to the individual-, interpersonal-, institutional-, and community-level changes that Black girls experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Black adolescent girls need opportunities to discuss the changes, receive relevant resources, and have spaces to support their physical, psychological, and sexual development. Systems such as families, schools, and clinics should implement programming to facilitate discussions around the impact of COVID-19 on Black girls.
探讨 COVID-19 大流行对黑人少女身体、心理和性发育的影响。
对 25 名（9-18 岁）主要来自美国中西部的女孩进行半结构式访谈。访谈一直进行到理论饱和为止。我们通过审查抄本、对数据进行编码和开发主题来进行常规内容分析。
利用社会生态模式的研究结果，揭示了与黑人女孩在 COVID-19 大流行期间经历的个人、人际、机构和社区层面的变化有关的主题。
黑人少女需要有机会讨论这些变化，获得相关资源，并拥有支持其身体、心理和性发育的空间。家庭、学校和诊所等系统应实施方案，促进围绕 COVID-19 对黑人女孩影响的讨论。
