Mental Health of Adolescents and Subjective Economic Deterioration Caused by COVID-19 in Korea.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic greatly impacted the health and economy worldwide. Children and adolescents are less affected by COVID-19 but are more vulnerable to secondary damage, such as mental health. We would like to evaluate the subjective economic changes caused by COVID-19 in Korea and adolescents' mental health status. ⋯ We hope that it will be possible to prevent and intervene early in adolescents, considering not only the risk of infection from COVID-19 but also mental health, especially mental health related to the economic deterioration caused by COVID-19.
