Article Abstract
This study aimed to examine changes in depression and anxiety symptoms from before to during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample of 1,339 adolescents (9-18 years old, 59% female) from three countries. We also examined if age, race/ethnicity, disease burden, or strictness of government restrictions moderated change in symptoms. Data from 12 longitudinal studies (10 U.S., 1 Netherlands, 1 Peru) were combined. Linear mixed effect models showed that depression, but not anxiety, symptoms increased significantly (median increase = 28%). The most negative mental health impacts were reported by multiracial adolescents and those under 'lockdown' restrictions. Policy makers need to consider these impacts by investing in ways to support adolescents' mental health during the pandemic.

Objective: Although traditionally associated with mild head trauma, post-concussive symptoms are commonly reported across both healthy and other clinical populations. Existing research indicates that individuals with depression report high levels of post-concussive symptoms, though the underlying causes of this association remain unknown. The current study aimed to explore potential factors underlying this relationship: specifically, how maladaptive and adaptive self-focused cognitive coping styles, namely, rumination and reflection, respectively, differentially contribute to post-concussive symptoms.

This study, employing data from the Women's and Men's Daily Experiences Studies, examines relationships between outness, anticipated binegativity, internalized binegativity, bisexual meta-perceptions, and mental health among 235 racially diverse bisexual adults. Path analyses via MPLUS explored whether several measures of negative bisexual identity perceptions were associated with relationships between outness and mental health, while moderation analyses assessed if positive identity perceptions moderate this relationship. Outness showed no direct association with anxiety or depression.
