This work present the opinions/experiences of Portuguese AYA, related to COVID-19, based on four multi-method studies with participants aged 16-24 years: (1st lockdown) 617 (M = 19.1 years, SD = 2.352); (Back to school) 304 (M = 18.4 years, SD = 2.12); (2nd lockdown) 592 (M = 19.01 years, SD = 2.32) and (Vaccination) 558 (M = 19.34 years, SD = 2.266). In general, results shown that AYA have a negative perspective, especially girls and university students. Most are well informed about the general aspects and trust in vaccination benefits. As conclusion, this study shows AYA competence to participate in the issues that affect them and their ability to propose strategies that may mitigate negative effects and promote a few positive ones.
