Due to the high incidence of STIs among youth, we sought to understand youth awareness and beliefs about EPT use.
Methods: MyVoice, a national text message survey of youth aged 14-24 years, posed 5 questions on EPT knowledge and perceptions to 1,115 youth in August 2018.
Objective: To evaluate perspectives of youth regarding diverted stimulant use among a contemporary sample of adolescents and young adults.
Study Design: This study used MyVoice, a longitudinal national text message survey of American youth. In February 2019, 1228 MyVoice youth were asked 4 open-ended questions to elicit their perspectives on diverted stimulant use.

Whereas some health care workers transitioned to working from home, many continued to report to work in person as essential employees. We sought to explore changes in sleep, health, work, and mood in health care workers during the stay-at-home orders.
