Michael E. Roberts, Elizabeth A. Bell, Jillian L. Meyer

Summary: This study examines the mental health of U.S. college students during the 2020-2021 academic year and finds that mental health struggles were more severe than usual, especially among female students. The results also show a negative correlation between mental health struggles and academic and non-academic experiences, and a positive correlation with time spent on social media.

Abbie E. Goldberg, Nora McCormick, Haylie Virginia

Summary: The majority of adopted children in the study struggled with remote schooling due to lack of motivation and inability to work independently, while many parents were dissatisfied with the implementation of school services and faced challenges with communication. Children's mental health during the pandemic varied, with some worsening, some improving, and some benefiting from increased time spent at home. This transition to remote schooling has presented unique challenges for adoptive families and families with children who have higher levels of need.

Marcela Almeida, Mamatha Challa, Monique Ribeiro, Alexandra M. Harrison, Marcia C. Castro

Summary: School closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have had significant negative impacts on children and adolescents, including increased screen time, disrupted sleep patterns, unbalanced diets, learning difficulties, and changes in social interactions. These closures have also led to broader familial challenges such as parental stress, work responsibilities, unemployment, intimate partner violence, child abuse, neglect, and substance abuse.

Summary: Finding effective communication strategies to promote social distancing is a global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study tested the effects of autonomy-supportive and controlling messages on motivation and behavioral intentions related to social distancing. The results showed that the controlling message increased controlled motivation, while the autonomy-supportive message decreased feelings of defiance. However, the messages did not influence autonomous motivation or behavioral intentions.

Henrique Prata Ribeiro, Andre Ponte, Miguel Raimundo, Tiago Reis Marques

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, distancing measures were enforced to reduce virus spread, impacting the overall mental health of the population. A study in Portugal found high levels of depression, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms during the first wave, with male gender and working from home being protective factors, while infection perception, being under psychiatric care, and taking medication were all risk factors. Younger age, unemployment, and indirect contact with COVID-19 were also associated with increased risk of mental health issues during the physical distancing period.
