Article Abstract
Objectives: Few panel studies have investigated how different types of mental health (MH) and socio-emotional wellbeing (SEW) outcomes have changed during the pandemic and if their burden has been equally distributed at the population-level. We aimed to examine temporal changes in these outcomes and their socio-ecological predictors using panel data.
Study Design: Longitudinal population-based survey with overlapping panels.
Methods: Analyses were carried out using four measurements of data from the Health and Social Survey (April 2020 to April 2021). Participants included Andalusian (Spanish) residents aged 16 years or older who participated in all four measurements (n = 1223). Seven dichotomous MH and SEW outcomes, as well as several socio-ecological predictors informed by a conceptual model, were examined in descriptive and multivariate analyses.
Results: Unadjusted odds of regular/bad perceived mental health (vs. excellent/very good/good), low socio-emotional wellbeing (vs. regular), low happiness (vs. regular), and feeling anxious (vs. not feeling anxious) decreased significantly from the first to the second measurement; however, in the fourth, low socio-emotional wellbeing significantly increased while low optimism decreased. Considering varying coefficients, objectively measured COVID-19 status and self-reported severity levels of the infection were statistically significant. Health status, social support, and household financial difficulty predicted higher adjusted odds in most of the seven assessed outcomes.
Conclusions: Significant temporal variations in MH and SEW outcomes, along with their predictors, were observed during the first year of the pandemic. Some of these outcomes worsened as the pandemic progressed, whereas others improved. Findings also suggest that some individuals such as those experiencing poor health, limited social support, and low socioeconomic status are disproportionately impacted.

The impact of marital histories on late-life loneliness and social participation: a US-China comparison.
Longit Life Course Stud
August 2025
Most research on marriage and well-being only looks at current marital status, which fails to address the impact of the timing and sequence of marital events on well-being. To fill in this gap, we use data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) to investigate the relationship between marital histories over the life course and loneliness and social participation in late life among older adults aged 65 and over across the US and China, and the gender differences therein. We show that marital histories are associated with loneliness and social participation differently across countries.
