“…Preliminary evidence indicated that the pandemic has greater adverse effects on mental health among girls, younger adolescents, and adolescents with migrant backgrounds and low socio-economic status (SES) ( 15 – 18 ). A nationwide Norwegian study also confirmed that girls, younger adolescents, and adolescents with low parental education and from poor families showed greater adverse changes during the pandemic on mental health and social relationships than older adolescents ( 19 ). However, it is unknown whether these sociodemographic characteristics moderate the association between COVID-19 worries and adolescent mental health and life satisfaction.…”

Worries related to the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with mental health problems and reduced life satisfaction. However, the association between different types of worries about COVID-19 and adolescent mental health is unclear. Moreover, there is a lack of information about whether certain groups of adolescents are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of worries and how social support may moderate these effects. Adolescents (N = 12,686) completed a survey during the lockdown in spring 2020 in Oslo, Norway (37% response rate, 56.4% girls). The results showed that adolescent worries could be categorized into worries related to infection and those related to the general negative effects of the pandemic. Multivariate regression analyses showed that both types of worries were negatively related to positive affect and life satisfaction and positively related to depressive symptoms. Interaction analyses indicated that some associations with positive affect and depressive symptoms were stronger among adolescents with non-migrant backgrounds, higher family SES, and high reported levels of social support and physical contact during the pandemic. The findings suggest that COVID-19 worries may have negative effects on mental health and inform strategies to increase tailored psychological interventions to mitigate the effect of worry on adolescents' mental health and life satisfaction.

“…Parents’ must invest time and emotional resources to respond to their children’s needs, and job stressors can lead to an energy depletion that negatively impacts the parent-adolescent relationship (Hagelskamp & Hughes, 2016 ). The demands of parent-adolescent dynamics have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, as parents struggle to balance their work while supporting their children’s autonomy and educational and mental health needs (von Soest et al, 2022 ; Wang et al, 2022 ). In the COVID-19 context, adolescents are at a lower risk of contagion than older populations (Lacomba-Trejo et al, 2020 ), but are at a higher risk of lower well-being and higher distress due to the interruption of their developmental tasks (Orellana & Orellana, 2020 ).…”

Family-to-work conflict has received less attention in the literature compared to work-to-family conflict. This gap in knowledge is more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the documented increase in family responsibilities in detriment of work performance, particularly for women. Job satisfaction has been identified as a mediator between the family and work domains for the individual, but these family-to-work dynamics remain unexplored at a dyadic level during the pandemic. Therefore, this study tested the relationship between family-to-work conflict and job and family satisfaction, and the mediating role of job satisfaction between family-to-work conflict and family satisfaction, in dual-earner parents. A non-probability sample of 430 dual-earner parents with adolescent children were recruited in Rancagua, Chile. Mothers and fathers answered an online questionnaire with a measure of family-to-work conflict, the Job Satisfaction Scale and Satisfaction with Family Life Scale. Data was analysed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model with structural equation modelling. Results showed that, for individuals, a higher family-to-work conflict is linked to lower satisfaction with both their job and family life, and these two types of satisfaction are positively associated with one another. Both parents experience a double negative effect on their family life satisfaction, due to their own, and to their partner’s family-to-work conflict; however, for fathers, this effect from their partner occurs via their own job satisfaction. Limitations and implications of this study are discussed, indicating the need of family-oriented workplace policies with a gender perspective to increase satisfaction in the family domain for workers and their families.

“…The pandemic also affected adolescents and young people negatively. Although the COVID-19 pandemic does not cause significant physical risk to teenagers [ 12 , 13 ], the fear of infection, financial constraints, and social isolation pose a threat to the mental health of many adolescents [ 14 ]. The number of adolescents using e-cigarettes and smoking cigarettes decreased during the pandemic because of several reasons, including the presence of parents in the home, poor access to cigarette products during the pandemic, and concerns about increased risk of COVID-19 [ 15 , 16 ].…”

COVID-19 infection is associated with oral lesions which may be exacerbated by tobacco smoking or e-cigarette use. This study assessed the oral lesions associated with the use of e-cigarettes, tobacco smoking, and COVID-19 among adolescents and young people in Nigeria. A national survey recruited 11–23-year-old participants from the 36 States of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Data were collected using Survey Monkey®. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted. Statistical significance was set at p-value less than 0.05. There were 2870 participants, of which 386 (13.4%) were tobacco smokers, 167 (5.8%) e-cigarette users, and 401 (14.0%) were both e-cigarette and tobacco users; and 344 (12.0%) had ever tested positive to COVID-19. Adolescents and young people who smoked tobacco had more than twice the odds of reporting gingival inflammation, oral ulcers, dry mouth, and changes in taste than those who did not smoke. Those who used e-cigarettes had 1.5 times higher odds of reporting oral lesions. Respondents who had COVID-19 infection had higher odds of reporting gingival inflammation and lower odds of reporting dry mouth than those who did not have COVID-19 infection. These findings were significant, and may help clinicians to screen for tobacco use and COVID-19 among adolescents and young people in Nigeria.
