“…A recent meta-analysis reported by Salari et al (2020) based on 17 studies of the general population found that the prevalence of anxiety and depression, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, was 31.9 and 33.7%, respectively. Similar results have been found in studies of the general population conducted in Spain (Hidalgo et al, 2020;Sandín et al, 2020cSandín et al, , 2021Gutiérrez-Hernández et al, 2021) and Hispanic American countries (Andrades-Tobar et al, 2021;Mestas et al, 2021) since the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in children and adolescents (Gómez-Becerra et al, 2020;Orgilés et al, 2020bOrgilés et al, , 2021Pedreira, 2020). The existing literature on the impact of COVID-19 in adolescents is generally limited, and evidences the relevance of researching this issue (e.g., Muzi et al, 2021), including the role of emotion regulation strategies (Velotti et al, 2021).…”
