Lay summary
The peak onset of psychological disorders is during adolescence and early adulthood. Simultaneously, many young people start a family during this time; pregnancy and parenting are major risk factors within this already vulnerable age group, both for parents’ mental health, and their children’s emotional and developmental outcomes.
Public benefit statement
Our research will document parents' qualitative feedback about their experiences during the pandemic. This understanding is vital to understand parental needs and make evidence-based recommendations about service configuration and delivery post-pandemic.
