Quality of life and mental health in children and adolescents during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic: results of a two-wave nationwide population-based study

Ulrike Ravens-Sieberer et al.

Summary: The German COPSY study is a longitudinal study that examines the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescents. The study found that during the pandemic, the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents decreased, and there was an increase in emotional problems, peer-related mental health problems, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and psychosomatic complaints. Socially disadvantaged children and children of mentally burdened parents were more at risk of impaired mental health, while female gender and older age were associated with fewer mental health problems. A positive family climate and social support supported the mental health of children and adolescents during the pandemic.

Eviction, Health Inequity, and the Spread of COVID-19: Housing Policy as a Primary Pandemic Mitigation Strategy

Emily A. Benfer et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to catastrophic job loss and unprecedented levels of unemployment, exacerbating housing instability and the risk of eviction, especially for people of color and low-income populations. Eviction is likely to increase COVID-19 infection rates and is a driver of health inequity, underscoring the need for eviction prevention policies during the pandemic.

Eric B. Elbogen et al.

Summary: Research has found that stress symptoms, loneliness, and financial strain during the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with thoughts of suicide and self-harm, while greater social support is inversely related. Public health interventions to reduce suicide and self-harm risk should focus on pandemic-related stress, social isolation, and financial strain.

Mariah T. Hawes et al.

Summary: The study indicates that mental health problems in adolescents and young adults may have been exacerbated in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, but gradually improved over time. Symptoms of depression and anxiety peaked in late April/early May 2020 and then decreased through the following months, corresponding with declines in pandemic experiences and COVID-19 infection rates.

Mental health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic: a latent class trajectory analysis using longitudinal UK data

Matthias Pierce et al.

Summary: The study analyzed data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study to track mental health trajectories during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most adults in the UK showed resilient or improved mental health, while around one in nine individuals experienced deteriorating or consistently poor mental health. Factors such as living in lockdown areas, financial difficulties, pre-existing conditions, and infection with SARS-CoV-2 were found to predict a subsequent deterioration in mental health and might benefit from early intervention.

Trajectories of anxiety and depressive symptoms during enforced isolation due to COVID-19 in England: a longitudinal observational study

Daisy Fancourt et al.

Summary: The study found that anxiety and depression levels decreased over the 20 weeks following the lockdown in England, with the fastest decreases seen in the early strict lockdown period, and symptoms plateauing as lockdown easing measures were introduced. Risk factors for higher levels of anxiety and depression at the start of lockdown included being a woman, younger, lower educational attainment, lower income, pre-existing mental health conditions, and living alone or with children. These inequalities were reduced as lockdown continued, but differences were still evident 20 weeks after the start of lockdown.
