  • A survey of young people (age 16-24 years; n=2,372) in Mexico found 53% did not adhere to COVID-19 prevention guidelines. Among respondents with asthma, 31% did not comply with basic prevention guidelines. Among those with asthma, male sex, active smoker status, and belief that COVID-19 does not more severely affect people with asthma were associated with non-adherence to guidelines.
