This cross-sectional study aimed to assess adolescent health and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. 1300 male adolescents filled out the Male Adolescent Health Need Assessment Scale (MAHNAS) and corona-related anxiety scale (CRAS) from January to May 2021. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 22. The mean age of adolescents was 15.5\u00b12.25, and most of them (65%) were studying in high school. The mean scores for physical health were 78\u00b17.55, psychological health 48.8\u00b15.55, social health 48.21\u00b18.61, sexual health 50.35\u00b19.05, and anxiety scores were severe (46.76) in this study. There was a significant negative relationship between anxiety and health needs. The COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected the health needs of adolescents. Effective approaches and policies in this crisis, especially for adolescents, can alleviate the anxious reactions and be a way to meet their health needs appropriately.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.25122\/jml-2021-0287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,17]],"date-time":"2022-11-17T14:35:04Z","timestamp":1668695704000},"page":"675-678","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The status of adolescent health during the COVID-19 pandemic"],"prefix":"10.25122","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Seideh Hanieh","family":"Alamolhoda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"1.
