Title: The Impact of COVID-19 on Child and Youth Mental Health
Abstract: Research on the impact of COVID-19 on child and youth mental health suggests a deterioration on most mental health indicators, but not all, and for many children and youth, but not all. In this presentation, result discrepancies will be explained, and key evidence gaps will be highlight. Public health implications will also be addressed, along with best practice recommendations for a post-pandemic recovery in this area of health.
