To respond to this gap and support better planning for future crises, we examined the short-term impacts of COVID-19-related orphanhood on children’s and adolescents’ wellbeing through the Orphanhood and Caregiver Loss Among Adolescents and Youth (OCAY) study. No such studies exist globally and this provides a unique insight into this hidden group. We hypothesised that there would be multiple mental health impacts on children experiencing such loss.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;We collected data from children and adolescents aged 9–18 years in peri-urban Khayelitsha, South Africa, including those who lost a parent/caregiver to COVID-19 and a community comparison group who did not. Trained research assistants administered questionnaires, utilising standardised inventories and validated scales, that explored young participants’ mental health, wellbeing, and social circumstances. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, and multivariate linear and logistic regression models in STATA18 and R.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our final sample included n = 421 children and adolescents (n = 211 experiencing parental/caregiver loss, n = 210 controls) with a mean age of 12.7 years (SD = 2.3), with no significant between-group differences. Males experiencing COVID-related orphanhood were more likely to report rule breaking behaviour compared to females experiencing orphanhood (4.3 vs. 2.7, Cliff’s d = 0.34 [95 %CI: 0.07, 0.61], p = 0.04). Children experiencing the death of a primary caregiver were more likely to report a greater mental health burden compared to children experiencing the loss of a non-primary caregiver (p=&lt;0.05). Multiple regression analyses showed that children and adolescents affected by COVID-related loss experienced significantly greater levels of food insecurity (&lt;em&gt;OR =&lt;/em&gt; 2.14 [95 %CI: 1.04–4.40], p = 0.038), greater caregiving burdens in the household (&lt;em&gt;β =&lt;/em&gt; 1.08 [95 %CI: 0.33–1.83], p = 0.005), poorer mental health and suicidality (&lt;em&gt;β =&lt;/em&gt; 0.18 [95 %CI: 0.00–0.36], p = 0.047), and more social risk behaviours (&lt;em&gt;β&lt;/em&gt; = 0.75 [95 %CI: 0.01–1.49], p = 0.046) than their control group counterparts, even after controlling for sociodemographic and household information.

This study aims to assess the impact of family economic hardship on traditional bullying perpetration, traditional victimization, cyberbullying perpetration and cybervictimization among Chinese adolescents, explore the mediating factors, analyze gender and grade differences, and identify distinct bullying involvement profiles. This study used a cross-sectional design, and the sample comprised 13,873 adolescents (49.85% male) from senior and junior high schools in Zhejiang Province, China. This study employed a multi-faceted analytical approach, including primary analyses, mediation analysis, heterogeneity analysis, latent profile analysis and the multinomial logistic regression. The findings indicate that family economic hardship is associated with increased bullying involvement, mediated by family affective response and relative deprivation, with a more pronounced effect on victimization and offline contexts. Latent profile analysis delineates five distinct groups (low-risk 85.07%, medium-risk 5.61%, high-risk 3.81%, high online-risk 3.64%, high offline-risk 1.92%), with family economic hardship predicting membership in high-risk groups.

This study utilizes the Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model to examine how mothers' and fathers' parental stress is related to their own (i.e., actor’s effect) and their partner’s reports of their children’s socioemotional competencies, as well as the indirect effects of the coparenting relationship in this association. Dyadic mediation models were estimated with 216 dyads of cohabiting parents in Portugal. Results show that mothers’ and fathers’ greater parental stress was positively related to children’s aggressive behaviors and negatively related to social competencies. Indirect effects were found through conflict coparenting, in the association between mothers’ parental stress and children’s anxiety, and in the association between fathers’ stress and children’s aggression. Partner effects were found between fathers’ reports on parental stress and conflict coparenting and mothers’ perceptions of children’s competencies.
