About this Research Topic
Exposure to violence such as child maltreatment, ethnic-based bullying, self-harm, family violence, and community violence was a pressing global health issue affecting young people (children, youth, and young adults) worldwide before the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers have documented how exposure to violence in childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood is particularly harmful to the mental health of young people in the immediate and long-term. We are interested in studies examining this topic during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of this Research Topic is to examine exposure to violence in young people during the COVID-19 pandemic and its relation to mental health.
The scope of submitted manuscripts must include an examination of interpersonal violence exposure in young people (age 0 to 25) and its association with mental health during COVID-19. A discussion of possible mechanisms and solutions must be provided.
