Abstract

Background: We examined the evidence on mental health outcomes for children and young people who experienced the Great Recession of 2008. The aim was to understand the potential COVID-19 pandemic related economic impacts on the mental health of children and young people. Lessons from the Great Recession could be applied to inform future practice, policy and research regarding children and young people's mental health following the pandemic. Method: A systematic search of PsycINFO, Medline, CINAHL and Embase retrieved 1,391 papers for review. Results: Following application of eligibility criteria, 13 articles met inclusion. These studies used cross sectional and cohort designs, and utilised formal psychological measures or retrospective hospital data to assess the mental health of children and young people during the period of the Great Recession. There is limited evidence that the mental health of young people is negatively affected during periods of economic instability among those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged. A negative mental health impact was not observed across all studies for children and young people. Conclusions: The mental health of children and young people may be impacted as a result of an economic recession, as demonstrated during the Great Recession of 2008. These effects are not equally distributed amongst the general population and specific risk indicators include low parental educational attainment, parental and youth unemployment. These risk factors may affect young people differently according to age. Implications for researchers, policy makers and clinical services in the context of the economic recession resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed.

Abstract

Background: The Sheffield Learning Disabilities Outcome Measure (SLDOM) is routinely used across clinical services in the UK, despite not yet showing evidence of psychometric reliability or validity. However, it is reported that the SLDOM demonstrates good face validity, and represents a valuable tool for providing useful information around the parent‐child relationship in the context of having a child with a Learning Disability (LD). Method: This study involved 263 parents or carers of a child with LD who completed the SLDOM. Data from this study were subjected to factor analysis. Results: These findings suggest that the SLDOM could be viewed as a tool that measures two concepts: (1) internal factors central to the parent/carer in relation to having a child with LD and (2) external factors in terms of the context and environment surrounding a child with LD. To our knowledge, this study is one of the first to investigate the psychometric properties of the SLDOM. Conclusions: This has implications in terms of building evidence to support the clinical and research use of this tool; to provide evidence‐based clinical services, and overall, to gain a better understanding of patients and their families, which will allow for optimum service provision.
