November 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study compares mental health outcomes for parents and children in Victoria, Australia, during a strict COVID-19 lockdown, against those in non-Victorian states experiencing minimal restrictions.
- Results show that mental health symptoms peaked in Victorians during the lockdown, correlating with rising COVID-19 infection rates.
- Several predictors of poor mental health trajectories were identified, including loneliness, diagnosed conditions, couple conflict, and COVID-19-related stressors, which can help target support for at-risk families.
