COVID-19: Supporting Parents, Adolescents and Children during Epidemics (Co-SPACE)
The Co-SPACE study is an online longitudinal survey designed to track children and young people's mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study recruited United Kingdom-based parents and carers of children and young people aged between 4 and 16 years in 2020. Surveys were completed by children and parents every month. Children between 11 and 16 years old were also invited to provide their perspectives via qualitative interviews. The study ended in 2023.
