A rapid systematic review of the prevalence of suicide and self-harm behaviors in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions: There is wide variation in study methodology, population, settings, and age groups in the included studies. Suicidal behavior and self-harm were increased in specific study settings and adolescent populations during the pandemic. More methodologically rigorous research is needed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on adolescent suicidal behavior and self-harm. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
