Impact of the pandemic on the health and development of children and adolescents

The pandemic may have affected the daily lives and development of the youngest children through infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, sometimes with persistent symptoms (post-COVID), but also through its impact on other aspects of their health (anxiety, sleep quality, withdrawal, changes in socialisation and learning, etc.).Over several years, the SEROCoV-KIDS study is assessing the extent to which the pandemic has had an influence on the physical and mental health, well-being, development, education, socio-economic and family environment, and lifestyle of children and adolescents.
