Emerging evidence indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic and government measures put in place in response to this have had a detrimental impact on young people's mental health. A children's human rights-based approach was taken to examine the impact of the legislative and policy measures that were implemented in Scotland in response to the pandemic on children's rights related to their mental health. Key concerns were identified around children's rights to access mental health services and information, participation in decision-making and non-discrimination of vulnerable groups. Although the analysis focussed on Scotland, recommendations to protect these rights are likely to be relevant to other countries following similar approaches as lockdown restrictions are eased, or in the event that stricter local or national measures are required again to curb rising infection rates or subsequent wave(s).
新出现的证据表明，新冠疫情以及政府为此采取的措施对年轻人的心理健康产生了不利影响。我们采用了一种基于儿童人权的方法，来审视苏格兰为应对疫情而实施的立法和政策措施对儿童心理健康相关权利的影响。围绕儿童获得心理健康服务和信息的权利、参与决策的权利以及弱势群体不受歧视的权利，确定了关键问题。尽管分析聚焦于苏格兰，但随着封锁限制的放宽，或者在需要再次采取更严格的地方或国家措施来遏制感染率上升或后续疫情的情况下，保护这些权利的建议可能与其他采取类似做法的国家相关。
