Abstract

Authors´ conclusions:In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic 1 in 4 youth globally are experiencing clinically elevated depression symptoms, while 1 in 5 youth are experiencing clinically elevated anxiety symptoms. These pooled estimates are double of prepandemic estimates.

Reviewers´ commentary:this meta-analysis provides an estimate of clinical elevated depression and generalized anxiety symptoms globally among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Future studies should include and focus on groups at increased risk for mental health problems, and longitudinal studies with baseline estimates of anxiety and depression are needed.
