Title of project: 
Long COVID and mental health
Proposal summary: 

The COVID-19 pandemic and related mitigation measures have had a profound impact of society and wellbeing. Much research (including that of ALSPAC) has focused on the impact of the mitigation measures, rather than the impact of the disease. ALSPAC forms part of larger consortia examining the impact of contracting COVID-19 and Long COVID on later consequences, one of which is mental health.

This project will specifically focus on the impact of COVID-19 status and Long COVID throughout the pandemic, on later mental health by examining depression and anxiety in both generations of ALSPAC.

Impact of research: 
Results will be shared with PHE and HDRUK
