This study addressed the need for research examining impacts of the Coronavirus-19 (COVID) pandemic on Latinx adolescents' adjustment. Survey data for a probability sample of 547 Latinx adolescents (Mage = 13.71, SD = 0.86; 55.2% female) were collected from 2018 to 2021, including two times both prior to, and during, COVID. Independent variables assessed COVID-related household hospitalization, job/income loss, and adolescents' increased childcare responsibility. Structural Equation Model results indicated that COVID-related increases in adolescent childcare responsibility were associated with increased internalizing and externalizing symptoms and declines in school performance. COVID hospitalization and job/income loss were associated indirectly, through childcare responsibilities, to worse adolescent outcomes. Family adversities may harm adolescents' adjustment by burdening adolescents with responsibilities such caring for children.

COVID-19 压力源和拉丁裔青少年的心理健康症状和学校表现：一项前瞻性研究。

这项研究解决了研究冠状病毒 19 (COVID) 大流行对拉丁裔青少年适应的影响的必要性。从 2018 年到 2021 年收集了 547 名拉丁裔青少年（法师 = 13.71，标准差 = 0.86；55.2% 女性）的概率样本的调查数据，包括 COVID 之前和期间的两次。自变量评估了与 COVID 相关的家庭住院、工作/收入损失和青少年增加的育儿责任。结构方程模型结果表明，与 COVID 相关的青少年育儿责任的增加与内化和外化症状的增加以及学校表现的下降有关。COVID住院和工作/收入损失通过儿童保育责任间接与更糟糕的青少年结局相关。
