By Neha MathurMay 25 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent article published in JAMA Network Open, researchers performed a cross-sectional study to assess whether the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic increased the incidence of any mental health conditions among youth and pediatric patients aged six to 18 years in the United States of America .
US health organizations focused on monitoring the mental health of youth in the US considered it a state of emergency because the COVID-19 pandemic seemingly exacerbated MH conditions among US youth. For study data, the team first used de-identified data from a commercial healthcare claims database, from where the team extracted the monthly proportion of children/youths with MH diagnoses between January 2018 and March 2022, stratified by age and gender.
This study received approval from the institutional review board of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and strictly adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines.
