“…Multiple studies point out a possibly higher vulnerability of individuals with preexisting mental illness that experience additional adverse events. 24,40 Thus it could be argued that in our sample the trend has not reached the level of statistical significance due to lack of statistical power.…”

“…We developed the questionnaire for the needs of the current study based on the tools used by "The CoRonavIruS Health Impact Survey" (CRISIS). 24 To improve the design of the data collection instrument and to avoid potential comprehension issues experienced by the study participants, 8 parents were recruited to pretest the questionnaire using the method of cognitive interviewing. 26 Once finalized and released online, the study and the survey instrument was advertised in social media while a press release was distributed to journalists who presented the study inviting participants in internet news-media.…”

“…23 The CoRonavIruS health and Impact Survey (CRISIS), which used a robust questionnaire covering key domains relevant to mental distress and resilience during the pandemic, showed that pre-existing mood states, perceived COVID risk, and lifestyle changes are strongly associated with negative mood states during the pandemic in population samples of adults and in parents reporting on their children in the US and UK. 24 A recent rapid systematic review investigating the impact of social isolation and loneliness on the mental health of children and adolescents demonstrated an increased risk of depression and possibly anxiety, both at the time loneliness was measured and between 0.25 to 9 years later. 25 The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measure of lockdown on the mental health of children and adolescents in Greece.…”

Background. Mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures are expected to be profound. Aim. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of the pandemic and the lockdown on children's and adolescents' mental health in Greece. Methods. A cross-sectional survey of 1,232 Greek parents of children and adolescents aged < 18 years was conducted in March and May 2020. Parents provided information about sociodemographic characteristics, family everyday life during the lockdown and the pandemic psychological impact on their children. Results. Approximately one-third (35.1%) of parents reported that the psychological health of their children was considerably affected. The most significant concern was social isolation. Unemployment, increased family conflicts, no opportunity for tele-work and a deteriorating psychological health of the parent, as well as children's previous history of physical health conditions were all significantly associated with adverse mental health impact. Conclusion. A considerable proportion of children and adolescents may experience adverse mental health effects due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown measures, and socioeconomic inequalities may be associated with these effects.

“…Assessment. The CRISIS measure was developed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the daily lives of children, adolescents, and adults (Merikangas et al, 2020;Nikolaidis et al, 2020). Broadly, along with demographic information (e.g., child ancestry), the CRISIS consists of questions that assess exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus; daily behaviours (e.g., school closures); emotions, distress, and well-being (e.g., loneliness, worry; see Table 3); media use; and substance use (i) in the 3 months prior to the local impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) in the past 2 weeks.…”

Objective: COVID-19 is an unprecedented global crisis. Research is critically needed to identify the acute and long-term impacts of the pandemic to children’s mental health including psychosocial factors that predict resilience, recovery, and persistent long-term distress. The present study collected data in June-July 2020 to enumerate the acute impact of the pandemic on children’s mental health, including the magnitude and nature of psychiatric and psychological distress in children, and to evaluate social support as a putative psychosocial correlate of children’s distress.Method: 190 families of children aged 8 to 13 from the Windsor-Essex region of Southwestern Ontario reported on the impact of the pandemic on children’s well-being (e.g., worry, happiness); irritability; social support; and symptoms of anxiety, depressive, and posttraumatic stress disorder at baseline assessment of an ongoing longitudinal study of the COVID-19 pandemic.Results: Children and parents reported worsened well-being and psychological distress during the pandemic compared to retrospective report of pre-pandemic well-being. Children and parents also reported higher depressive and anxiety symptoms, but fewer PTSD symptoms, compared to epidemiological samples that used the same measures prior to the pandemic. Finally, child-perceived social support from family and friends was associated with lower symptom severity.Conclusions: Study findings indicate broad psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and are consistent with prior research that indicates a protective role of social support to mitigate the negative psychological impact of the pandemic.

“…We hypothesize a higher prevalence of emotional symptoms during this period compared to previously reported ones. Also, based on previous studies [13,14], we hypothesize that a previous general tendency to psychopathology, unfavourable environmental and acute psychological changes such as an uncomfortable and "not connected" quarantine living context, acute lifestyle changes (in sleep and eating habits) and higher worries about COVID-19 could be factors related to emotional symptoms.…”

BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that during COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, emotional symptoms increased in the general population. Less is known in youths. MethodsWe surveyed a sample of Italian adolescents during the strictest quarantine period and assessed the effects of socio-demographic and psychological factors on current emotional symptoms. A convenient sample of 326 adolescents (age range 14-19 years) participated in a web-based survey. We collected data on several socio demographic and psychological information (summarized into three indexes: environmental context, changes in lifestyle, and worries about infection) and psychopathological symptoms (previous psychopathological status, current anxiety and depressive symptoms). ResultsDescriptive analysis showed that adolescents have experienced quarantine under very different conditions; they reported 47.5% and 14.1% of anxiety and depressive symptoms, respectively. Regression analyses indicated that previous psychopathological status and worries about infection are linked to anxiety and that female gender, previous psychopathological status (moderated by change in lifestyle), worse environmental context are linked to depression. ConclusionThis study indicates that, facing the COVID-19 pandemic and its related safety measures, adolescents show relevant emotional symptoms and therefore should be monitored, assessed and supported.
