Coping with COVID-19: a prospective cohort study on young Australians' anxiety and depression symptoms from 2020–2021
These findings indicate that during the first year of the pandemic in Australia, there were significant changes in young people's mental health which were associated with multiple demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, and lockdown factors. Hence, in future public health crises, we suggest more inclusive guidelines that involve young people in their development and implementation ensuring that their unique perspectives and needs are adequately considered.
