The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health in Danish school children in 5th to 7th grade

CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that the Covid-19 pandemic impacted Danish school children differently across sex and grade (age). During Covid-19, mental health tended to be better among the oldest girls and worse among the youngest girls compared with girls before Covid-19. Boys in 6th grade had poorer mental well-being, and boys in 5th grade had fewer conduct problems during Covid-19 compared with before Covid-19.PMID:38380520 | DOI:10.1177/14034948241228907
