“…In this sense, sexual and reproductive health must be prioritized because sexual discovery and engagement in affective and sexual relationships happen naturally throughout adolescence. Thus, it is important to con-sider that unintended teenage pregnancies may result in prolonged school closures [23].…”

Introduction: Various non-pharmacological interventions to prevent coronavirus dissemination were implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, including school closures. The effect of these interventions on particular aspects of people’s lives such as sexual and reproductive health outcomes has not been adequately discussed. The objective of the study was to compare the monthly hospital admission rates due to abortion before and during school closure. Methods: We used an interrupted time series (IES) design to estimate the hospital admission rates before and during the school closure (intervention in March 2020) period. The analysis was performed considering all girls from age groups of interest and by stratifying the age groups according to skin color (white and non-white) in which the non-white category comprised both the black and mixed ethnicity together. Coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using segmented linear regression models. Results: The results showed positive and statistically significant coefficients, suggesting post-intervention trend changes both in the population as a whole (coefficient: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.02; 0.11) and the non-white population group (coefficient: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.03; 0.11), indicating that the monthly hospital admission rates increased over the post-intervention period compared to baseline pre-intervention period. The ITS analysis did not detect statistically significant trend changes (coefficient: 0.02; 95% CI: −0.01; 0.05) in abortion admission rates in the white girl population group. Conclusion: The hospitalizations in Brazil due to abortions in 10- to 14-year-old girls increased during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 compared to 2019, and the number of abortions was higher in the non-white population than the white population. Furthermore, recognizing that the implementation of school closure has affected the minority population differentially can help develop more effective actions to face other future similar situations.

“…As expected, literature addressing COVID impacts on education ranges from pre-K to advanced degrees from many countries. Tan (2021), for example, conducted a meta-analysis and concluded that school closures had a negative effect on K-12 students. Mseleku (2020) noted a lack of evidence on the impact of COVID on learning outcomes and the need for research on the long and short-term impacts on students in a higher education context.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic required adaptation to a new learning environment creating challenges for students and instructors. A reduction in student-teacher contact and the lack of supervision should have led to a decline in students’ academic performance. Nonetheless, studies report increases in grades during the pandemic. Yet, limited information is available regarding the persistence of this impact. This study utilizes a hierarchical mixed effect model to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university grades. Using unique class-level data containing chronological variables and institutional, instructor, and student characteristics, spanning Fall 2010 to Spring 2021 of 7,852 undergraduate classes, it is shown class average grade point averages (GPAs) in the College of Agriculture at Texas A&M University increased for the three semesters most impacted by COVID-19. Average class GPAs increased by 0.22 points in Spring 2020 because of COVID-19 and then approximately 0.18 points in the subsequent next two semesters. The negative effect of class size decreased during COVID-19, implying online classes have different size effects than traditional classes. Additionally, the positive effect of SAT scores on grades decreased. One implication of this study is that COVID-19 may not only have a direct, significant, impact on GPAs but may also indirectly affect GPAs through altering the effects of variables on GPAs. The causal mechanisms by which the changes occurred are an area for further research. JEL Codes: I21, I29

Corona Virus Disease 2019 atau yang biasa disingkat COVID-19 adalah masalah kesehatan masyarakat terbesar yang tidak hanya menyerang orang dewasa tetapi juga anak-anak, di Indonesia sendiri kasus penyakit COVID-19 hingga Januari 2022 dilaporkan sebanyak 2.9% di usia 0-5 tahun dan 10.2% di usia 6-18 tahun. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkarakterisasi penularan SARS CoV-2 khususnya di kalangan anak-anak beserta gejalanya agar dapat menjadi informasi dalam rencana nasional untuk dapat membuat regulasi terkait jarak sosial dan upaya dalam mencegah penularan di sekolah. Penelitian ini merupakan tinjauan sistematis (systematic review) dengan menggunakan metode PRISMA. Pencarian artikel melalui proquest, science direct dan google scholar. Dari artikel penelitian yang direview dapat diketahui bahwa pembukaan kembali sekolah dikaitkan dengan peningkatan dalam tingkat infeksi SARS-CoV-2 di semua rangkaian pendidikan dan pada tingkat yang sama dengan minggu-minggu sebelum liburan dengan anak-anak kecil lebih mungkin untuk memiliki infeksi sementara dan ringan, daripada anak-anak yang lebih tua atau orang dewasa serta masih kurangnya pengujian pada anak tanpa gejala. Penularan COVID-19 pada anak di sekolah perlu ditinjau kembali secara cermat dan keputusan untuk membuka kembali sekolah harus didasarkan pada indikator tingkat infeksi masyarakat yang rendah dan kemampuan sekolah untuk menerapkan jarak fisik yang aman dan langkah-langkah pengendalian infeksi sesuai dengan pedoman yang berlaku.
