Abstract

Abstract COVID‐19 poses a considerable threat to adolescent mental health. We investigated depression rates in teens from pre to post‐COVID. We also explored if leveraging a growth mindset intervention (“Healthy Minds”) could improve adolescent mental health outcomes during the pandemic, especially for adolescents experiencing the most distress. In Study 1, we recruited youth from schools in a rural southern community ( N = 239) and used a pre‐post design. In Study 2, we recruited an online sample ( N = 833) and used a longitudinal randomized control trial design to test the effectiveness of Healthy Minds. Across both studies, there is evidence of higher rates of depression in youth during COVID‐19, relative to pre‐pandemic numbers. In Study 1, the intervention effectively changed psychological and behavioral processes related to mental health, especially for adolescents experiencing greater COVID‐19 stress. However, in Study 2, the intervention failed to impact depression rates or symptoms at follow‐up.

成长心态干预在COVID - 19期间改善青少年心理健康

COVID - 19对青少年心理健康构成了相当大的威胁。我们调查了青少年从COVID前到后的抑郁率。我们还探讨了在大流行期间，利用成长心态干预(“健康心态”)是否可以改善青少年的心理健康状况，特别是对经历最痛苦的青少年。在研究1中，我们从南部农村社区的学校招募了青少年(N = 239)，并采用了前后设计。在研究2中，我们招募了一个在线样本(N = 833)，并采用纵向随机对照试验设计来检验健康心理的有效性。在这两项研究中，有证据表明，与大流行前相比，COVID - 19期间青年抑郁症发病率更高。在研究1中，干预有效地改变了与心理健康相关的心理和行为过程，特别是对于经历更大COVID - 19压力的青少年。然而，在研究2中，干预未能影响随访时的抑郁率或症状。
