“…Low family income and unemployment also put pressure on the relationship between the parents . On the other hand, the pressure of work puts more and more demands on parents , which may in turn make them feel inadequate as parents or cause them to feel guilty about lack of family time. Parents' own resources in coping with everyday family life should be supported by child health clinics and school health care .…”

“…Families' financial difficulties are partly related to extensive social phenomena, such as unemployment, fixed‐term employment, job insecurity or low income . Young people are also worried about the financial situation of their families; in the long term, these worries seem to be associated with development of mental health problems in the young themselves . However, the risk of illness in children cannot be directly predicted by parental illness or other disruptive factors .…”

The fact that public health nurses found cause for concern during health examinations was associated with the child's gender, development stage and family characteristic. The research findings may be utilised in planning and targeting health counselling and services in child and school health care. Understanding the role of family characteristics in health and well-being challenges in children is useful in promoting multidisciplinary work in health care.

“…For example, experiencing daily worries is associated with depressive symptoms both in the short-term and over several years . This has been shown for a range of worries, including those relating to health and finances 12,13 . In fact, worries and other negative reactions to an event have in some instances been found to be more important in predicting mental health and wellbeing than experiencing the event itself 14 .…”

Importance: Multiple data sources suggest that COVID-19 is having adverse effects on mental health. But it is vital to understand what is causing this: worries over potential adversities due to the pandemic, or the toll of experiencing adverse events. Objective: To explore the time-varying longitudinal relationship between (i) worries about adversity, and (ii) experience of adversity, and both anxiety and depression and test the moderating role of socio-economic position. Design: Longitudinal cohort study Setting: Community study Participants: A well-stratified sample of UK adults recruited into the UCL COVID -19 Social Study (a panel study collecting data weekly during the Covid-19 pandemic) via a combination of convenience and targeted recruitment. The sample was weighted to population proportions of gender, age, ethnicity, education and geographical location. Exposures: Worries or experiences of adversities during the COVID-19 pandemic Outcomes: Anxiety (GAD-7) and depression (PHQ-9) Results: Data were analysed from 41,909 UK adults (weighted data: 51% female, aged 18-99) followed up across 6 weeks (178,430 observations). Using fixed effects regression was used to explore within-person variation over time, cumulative number of worries and experience of adversities were both related to higher levels of anxiety and depression. Number of worries were associated more with anxiety than depression, but number of experiences were equally related to anxiety and depression. Individuals of lower socio-economic position were more negatively affected psychologically by adverse experiences. Conclusions & relevance: Measures over the first few weeks of lockdown in the UK appear to have been insufficient at reassuring people given we are still seeing clear associations with poor mental health both for cumulative worries and also for a range of specific worries relating to finance, access to essentials, personal safety and COVID-19. Interventions are required that both seek to prevent adverse events (e.g. redundancies) and that reassure individuals and support adaptive coping strategies.
