In Argentina, the local government decreed preventive and compulsory social isolation (ASPO) on 20 March 2020 to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. After 100 days of confinement (June 2020), the Aiglé Foundation developed a survey with the objective of surveying adolescents’ perceptions of ASPO, exploring habits, emotions, behaviours and relationships with peers and families. It explored how much each of these aspects worsened, stayed the same or improved. The survey was administered to 1068 adolescents aged 12-18 years living in Argentina, 32% male and 68% female (X: 15.17; SD: 1.79). The results show that during confinement both habits and emotional aspects were significantly affected. Family relationships, however, showed an improvement in a large part of the adolescent population. The aim of the article is to present the results in each of these areas.
