School is more than a place to learn: An intersectoral assessment of adolescent well-being prior to and after the COVID-19 pandemic in the WHO European Region
Adolescent well-being declined during the pandemic; this was especially seen in education outcomes for adolescents from the most deprived backgrounds. Leveraging existing health and education datasets enables an intersectoral approach to support those who have fallen behind. Future pandemic response decisions, such as school closures, must carefully balance protection from infectious diseases with the impacts on education and student well-being.
