1). Almost 60% of young Americans were not receiving news about COVID-19 from online influencers. This finding held true from the first study even as celebrities and online influencers began active promotions.

2). Local government had the most influence on whether young Americans acted to stop the spread of COVID-19. Instead of influencers or celebrities, young people are listening to local governments and family members to learn what to do to stop the spread of the virus.

3). Supporting local business was the best way young Americans sought to support others during the pandemic. Young adults see their consumer decisions and social media activity as ways to help people. At the same time, a third of these respondents said they have taken no actions that might help others.
|
|
4). Healthcare reform tops the list of social issues young Americans made donations to, while they volunteered (virtually or in person) most for animals/animal rights. A small percentage of young Americans chose to financially support healthcare reform, food banks and animal rights; the smaller percentages who volunteered did so for climate change, animal rights and food banks/healthcare reform.
