Aims: To explore mental health and its wider determinants in young people in the UK during one year of the COVID-19 pandemic (August 2020- September 2021). Methods:A representative sample of 11,898 participants (48.7% female) aged between 13 and 19 years (Mean = 16.1) participated in five waves of data collection. Using validated self-reported questionnaires for loneliness, anxiety, and depression, this survey measured the extent and nature of the mental health impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic, help-seeking behaviours, as well as changes over time.Results: Young people experienced higher levels of anxiety during the summer and fall 2020, followed by higher levels of depression during the winter 2020-21, with loneliness gradually increasing then peaking during the spring and summer of 2021. Young people who were older, female, with pre-existing mental-health issues, and experiencing financial difficulties were at higher risk of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Help-seeking behaviours reduced the risk of depression and loneliness.Conclusions:The COVID-19 pandemic had substantial impact on young people, whether on their mental health, their social contacts and interactions or their perspective on what the future holds for them.
