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 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Parental unemployment and educational outcomes in late adolescence: the importance of family cohesion, parental education, and family income in a Norwegian study
CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with parents outside of the workforce are at higher risk of poorer educational outcomes than peers with working parents.

Mental health problems among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic: a repeated cross-sectional study from Sweden
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with boys, adolescent girls self-reported worse mental health following COVID-19 exposure.
