Adolescents and young adults (AYA), who are between the ages of 10 and 24 years, account for approximately 20% of the total population in the United States (US), but the extent to which AYA contribute to forward transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is not fully understood. In this viewpoint, we highlight evidence regarding the increased potential of AYA to transmit SARS-CoV-2 that, to date, has received little attention, discuss adolescent and young adultspecific considerations for future COVID-19 control measures, and provide applied programmatic suggestions. Adolescent and young adult-specific data Furthermore, behavioral factors unique to AYA may increase the risk of forward transmission of SARS-CoV-2 relative to both younger children and older adults.	./cache/cord-299499-66qh3r75.txt	./txt/cord-299499-66qh3r75.txt
