Social connection and its prospective association with adolescent internalising and externalising symptoms: an exploratory cross‐country study using retrospective harmonisation - Moltrecht - Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry - Wiley Online Librar
Introduction Mental health problems in children and adolescents are a growing global public health concern (Kieling et al., 2024). Evidence suggests that the prevalence of common psychological disorders has increased significantly over the past decades (Bor, Dean, Najman, & Hayatbakhsh, 2014; McElroy, Tibber, Fearon, Patalay, & Ploubidis, 2023), and this increase may have been further fuelled by the COVID-19 pandemic (Bevilacqua et al., 2023).
Long COVID and financial outcomes: evidence from four longitudinal population surveys
Discussion Using data from four representative UK birth cohorts, we found that long COVID is associated with financial disruption after adjusting for a wide range of potential confounders, including pre-pandemic factors. COVID-19 with symptoms that impeded the ability to function normally was reported by 13% of the participants, with 0.6% reporting such symptoms for at least 12 weeks.
Home working and social and mental wellbeing at different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK: Evidence from 7 longitudinal population surveys
Association between home working and social and mental wellbeing Details of study-specific main estimates (RQ1) are presented in S7 Supplementary File with meta-analysed findings presented in Fig 1. There was no association between full or partial home working and low life satisfaction at T1, T2, or T3. For social contact, working from home was associated with decreased risk of low social contact (fully adjusted RR: 0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.89 to 0.98) at T1.
Demographic and health factors associated with pandemic anxiety in the context of COVID‐19
Abstract Objectives The mental health consequences of COVID‐19 are predicted to have a disproportionate impact on certain groups. We aimed to develop a brief measure, the Pandemic Anxiety Scale, to capture the specific aspects of the pandemic that are provoking anxiety, and explore how these vary by health and demographic factors. Design Data were from a convenience sample of parents (N = 4,793) and adolescents (N = 698) recruited in the first 6 weeks of lockdown.
