COVID-19-related disruptions in social contact and health service delivery could negatively affect psychosocial and clinical outcomes, as well as reduce participation in research, among the approximately 190,000 ALHIV in Kenya [2] . The Data-informed Stepped Care to Improve Adolescent Outcomes (DiSC) cohort includes 1386 ALHIV ages 10-24 years receiving HIV care at nine health facilities in Western Kenya. All participants had previously provided informed consent at enrollment, and ethical review committees of Maseno University in Kenya and University of Washington, Seattle, United States, approved the phone interviews and additional COVID-19 questions. It will be important to follow ALHIV over a longer period to understand sustained impact of social distancing and other COVID-19 effects such as adolescent mental health, resilience, and social support.	./cache/cord-303516-1yfaxlp5.txt	./txt/cord-303516-1yfaxlp5.txt
