Background

Public health measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in adverse effects, including high level of psychological distress, anxiety, and depression.

Aims

This study explored adolescent psychopathological profiles at age 17, and their role in predicting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at age 19.

Methods

The analyses used a sample of 904 participants (mean age = 19.17 years) from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) sweep 7 who completed the mental health questions from January 2018 to March 2019 (mean age = 17.18 years) and the COVID-19 Survey in May 2020. Adolescent psychopathological profiles were identified by means of latent class analysis.

Results

Four psychopathological profiles were identified: “low-symptom class” (60.17% of participants), “high-symptom class” (23.01% of participants), “substance/behavioural addictions class” (12.03% of participants), and “emotion-dysregulation class” (4.79% of participants). Adolescents in the high-symptom and emotional-dysregulation classes had the worst outcome during the lockdown. Specifically, they experienced more stress, conflict and loneliness, and lower levels of perceived social support than adolescents in the other psychopathological classes. Adolescents in the emotional-dysregulation class also consumed more alcohol and had worse financial situation during the lockdown compared to pre- lockdown period.

Conclusion

Adolescent psychopathological profiles predicted mental health impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak.

青少年精神病理学概况和 COVID-19 大流行的结果:英国千年队列研究的纵向调查结果

背景

遏制 COVID-19 传播的公共卫生措施产生了不利影响,包括高度的心理困扰、焦虑和抑郁。

宗旨

这项研究探讨了 17 岁的青少年精神病理学概况,以及它们在预测 19 岁时 COVID-19 大流行的影响中的作用。

方法

分析使用了千年队列研究 (MCS) 第 7 次调查中的 904 名参与者(平均年龄 = 19.17 岁)样本,他们完成了 2018 年 1 月至 2019 年 3 月的心理健康问题(平均年龄 = 17.18 岁)和 COVID-19 调查2020 年 5 月。通过潜在类别分析确定了青少年精神病理学概况。

结果

确定了四种精神病理学特征:“低症状类”(60.17% 的参与者)、“高症状类”(23.01% 的参与者)、“物质/行为成瘾类”(12.03% 的参与者)和“情绪-失调类”(4.79% 的参与者)。高症状和情绪失调类别的青少年在封锁期间的结果最差。具体来说,与其他精神病理学类别的青少年相比,他们经历了更多的压力、冲突和孤独,以及更低水平的社会支持。与封锁前相比,情绪失调类别的青少年在封锁期间饮酒更多,财务状况更差。

结论

青少年精神病理学概况预测了 COVID-19 爆发对心理健康的影响。
