Due to lack of sufficient data on the psychological toll of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescent mental health, this systematic analysis aims to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on adolescent mental health. This study follows the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews of 16 quantitative studies conducted in 2019-2021 with 40,076 participants. Globally, adolescents of varying backgrounds experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and stress due to the pandemic. Secondly, adolescents also have a higher frequency of using alcohol and cannabis during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, social support, positive coping skills, home quarantining, and parent-child discussions seem to positively impact adolescent mental health during this period of crisis. Whether in the United States or abroad, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted adolescent mental health. Therefore, it is important to seek and to use all of the available resources and therapies to help adolescents mediate the adjustments caused by the pandemic.
由于缺乏关于 COVID-19 大流行对青少年心理健康的心理影响的足够数据，本系统分析旨在评估大流行对青少年心理健康的影响。这项研究遵循 PRISMA 指南，对 2019 年至 2021 年间进行的 16 项定量研究进行了系统评价，共有 40076 名参与者。在全球范围内，由于大流行，不同背景的青少年焦虑、抑郁和压力的发生率更高。其次，青少年在 COVID-19 大流行期间也更频繁地使用酒精和大麻。然而，社会支持、积极的应对技巧、居家隔离和亲子讨论似乎在这一危机期间对青少年的心理健康产生了积极的影响。无论是在美国还是在国外，COVID-19 大流行都对青少年的心理健康产生了影响。因此，寻求和使用所有可用的资源和疗法来帮助青少年应对大流行带来的调整非常重要。
