Self-perceived impact of COVID-19 and risk behaviors among adolescents: Results from the HBSC 2021/22 study in 21 European countries
Results of the 2021/22 HBSC study highlighted an elevated level of substance use among adolescents who perceived a stronger negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their lives. These findings indicate that the pandemic has put a particular strain on girls, older and less wealthy adolescents. They highlight the need for special attention and tailor-made interventions to deal with stressful future events that may impact on the life and mental health of these adolescents.
