Overview

Cross-wave analysis highlights increased psychopathology in adolescents, particularly among LGTBQIA+ youth.

Key Points

  • Increases in depression were noted among adolescents from W1 to W2, but decreases in anxiety and general psychopathology from W1 to W3 were observed.
  • The study included 1913 adolescents initially, with follow-up waves collecting data on their mental health amidst the pandemic's progression.
  • Multilevel linear regression models analyzed variations in psychopathology across multiple time points, considering sociodemographic factors.
  • Ongoing attention is essential for vulnerable groups, particularly LGTBQIA+ adolescents, indicating persistent mental health challenges post-pandemic.
