Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health and daily-life social processes of youth, and the role of socio-economic deprivation (COVID-19)

Crucial social-developmental processes in youth are impacted by COVID-19 lockdown measures, threatening mental health and well-being. We investigate the short- and longer-term impact of the pandemic upon youth’s social processes, mental health and well-being by collecting real-time data from a pre-existing adolescent cohort and by establishing a new longitudinal cohort of youth experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage. We aim to create novel targets for preventing distress in vulnerable youth.
