Kaja LeWinn notes, 'We actually found some improvements, specifically for kids with significant behavioral problems,' revealing unexpected positive mental health outcomes due to early COVID isolation.
The study suggests that kids with significant mental issues saw improvements during the pandemic, showing 'medium decreases' of their pre-pandemic mental health problems.
Although low-income and Black children experienced smaller declines in ADHD, the research indicated that even these minor improvements are meaningful and can impact overall well-being.
Lead researchers aimed to understand the pandemic's effect on children by analyzing data from over 1,200 kids who reported their mental health before and during COVID.
