The efforts of scientists and international scientific communities make it possible to determine the main causes of adolescent mortality and to formulate approaches to counteracting the identified factors of premature mortality of this population contingent. Despite the socio-economic differences between countries, the main causes of adolescent death are trauma, suicide, drug abuse, violence, accidents. In addition, pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of death in children worldwide, and therefore a review of studies describing the clinical conditions of COVID-19 in children is of particular interest. The COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to isolation processes that form a sharp limitation of communication among adolescents-peers, is also characterized by stressful relationships in the family, which also negatively affects the mental state of adolescents. A certain joint work of scientists, psychologists, public figures around the world is needed through the professional unity of strategic approaches aimed at eliminating, reducing the risks of manifestation of factors of premature mortality of the younger generation of the planet, including an increase in funding for this issue from the governments of different countries, which will allow for the evidence-based level to ensure the reduction of negative statistics in this area.COVID-19public healthadolescentsmortalityCOVID-19общественное здоровьеподросткисмертность1.Masquelier B., Hug L., Sharrow D. et al.
