“…Twelve studies collected data during the initial phase of the pandemic (up to April 2020) [8,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], seven studies collected data between April and June 2020 [7,[34][35][36][37][38][39], and one study each collected data from June to July 2020 [40] and October 2020 [41] respectively. Five studies were conducted in the UK [24,27,28,35,40] and in China [23,[30][31][32][33], two studies in the USA [8,25], Italy [26,36] and Australia [29,39] and one study in India [34], Canada [37], Spain [38], Germany [7] and Iceland [41]. The NIH rating showed that 12 were rated as good-quality studies and nine studies were rated as fair quality (Table S2 in the Supplementary Appendix).…”

“…Probability sampling was used in six studies [7,8,23,24,27,28] and one was a nationwide study of all adolescents aged 13-18 years [41], which allowed the findings to be generalized at the population level. Non-representative and non-probability sampling was used in 14 studies, with sample sizes that ranged from 101 to 3886 subjects [25,26,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

“…All 21 studies measured mental health outcomes during both pre-pandemic and pandemic time points using the same measures. Depression was assessed in 10 studies [7,8,23,25,26,30,33,35,39,41], anxiety was assessed in 9 studies [7,8,25,30,[32][33][34][35]39] and psychological distress in 4 studies [24,[27][28][29]. Mental well-being [40,41], loneliness [8,24], stress [30,38], positive and negative affect [31,36] and hyperactivity/impulsivity [7,37] were assessed in 2 studies respectively.…”

There is increasing knowledge that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on mental health of children and young people. However, the global evidence of mental health changes before compared to during the COVID-19 pandemic focusing on children and young people has not been systematically reviewed. This systematic review examined longitudinal and repeated cross-sectional studies comparing before and during COVID-19 pandemic data to determine whether the mental health of children and young people had changed before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and PsycINFO databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed studies that had been published in English and focused on children and young people between 0 and 24 years of age. This identified 21 studies from 11 countries, covering more than 96,000 subjects from 3 to 24 years of age. Pre-pandemic and pandemic data were compared. Most studies reported longitudinal deterioration in the mental health of adolescents and young people, with increased depression, anxiety and psychological distress after the pandemic started. Other findings included deteriorated negative affect, mental well-being and increased loneliness. Comparing data for pandemic and pre-pandemic periods showed that the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact the mental health of children and young people. There is an urgent need for high-quality research to address the impact, risks and protective factors of the pandemic on their mental health, as this will provide a good foundation for dealing with future health emergencies and other crises.

Association of Major Disease Outbreaks With Adolescent and Youth Mental Health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

ImportanceAdolescents and young people have been historically understudied populations, and previous studies indicate that during epidemics, these populations, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), are at high risk of developing mental disturbances.ObjectiveTo identify the existing evidence regarding the association of mental health with outbreaks of the influenza A (H1N1), Zika, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2 virus in exposed youth and adolescents in LMICs.Evidence ReviewAcross 6 databases (Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science), the mental health outcomes of adolescents and youth (aged 10-24 years) associated with 4 major pandemic outbreaks from January 2009 to January 2021 in LMICs were reviewed. A group of 3 authors at each stage carried out the screening, selection, and quality assessment using Joanna Briggs Institute checklists. The social determinants of adolescent well-being framework was used as a guide to organizing the review.FindingsA total of 57 studies fulfilled the search criteria, 55 related to the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic and 2 covered the H1N1 influenza epidemics. There were no studies associated with Zika or Ebola outbreaks that met screening criteria. The studies reported high rates of anxiety and depressive symptoms among adolescents, including posttraumatic stress disorder, general stress, and health-related anxiety. Potential risk factors associated with poor mental health outcomes included female sex; home residence in areas with strict lockdown limitations on social and physical movement; reduced physical activity; poor parental, family, or social support; previous exposure to COVID-19 infection; or being part of an already vulnerable group (eg, previous psychiatric conditions, childhood trauma, or HIV infection).Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this systematic scoping review suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic and H1N1 epidemic were associated with adverse mental health among adolescents and youth from LMICs. Vulnerable youth and adolescents may be at higher risk of developing mental health–related complications, requiring more responsive interventions and further research. Geographically localized disease outbreaks such as Ebola, Zika, and H1N1 influenza are highly understudied and warrant future investigation.
