Mental health of Irish adolescents following the COVID-19 pandemic: results from a population-based cross-sectional survey
Many of these estimates suggest a deterioration from previous epidemiological studies. While our findings do not definitively prove youth mental health has worsened over time, these findings are highly concerning. We propose a close monitoring of mental health in future surveys of this population and encourage initiatives to improve the capacity and quality of youth mental health services.
