The results showed that the expected impact of the pandemic on mental health was not noticeable in the later stages of the first COVID-19 wave. Only two effects were demonstrated in terms of intra-individual changes, namely, an effect of gender on depression and anxiety symptoms and an effect of reported COVID-19 burden on school stress symptoms. Moreover, few associations were found for selected predictors and students’ mean level scores, averaged across both time points.enCC0 1.0 UniversalCOVID-19Mental healthDepressionAnxietyStressAdolescence370 - Erziehung, Schul- und Bildungswesen610 - Medizin und Gesundheit150 - PsychologieLongitudinal changes in Swiss adolescent’s mental health outcomes from before and during the COVID-19 pandemic01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift12734
