Methods A nationwide, population-based survey was conducted in May-June 2020 (W1), December 2020-January 2021 (W2), September-October 2021 (W3), February 2022 (W4), and September-October 2022 (W5). In total, n = 2,471 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years (n = 1,673 aged 11-17 years with self-reports) were assessed using internationally established and validated measures of HRQoL (KIDSCREEN-10), mental health problems (SDQ), anxiety (SCARED), depressive symptoms (CES-DC, PHQ-2), psychosomatic complaints (HBSC-SCL), and fear about the future (DFS-K). Findings were compared to prepandemic population-based data. Results While the prevalence of low HRQoL increased from 15\% prepandemic to 48\% at W2, it improved to 27\% at W5. Similarly, overall mental health problems rose from 18\% prepandemic to W1 through W2 (30-31\%), and since then slowly declined (W3: 27\%, W4: 29\%, W5: 23\%). Anxiety doubled from 15\% prepandemic to 30\% in W2 and declined to 25\% (W5) since then. Depressive symptoms increased from 15\%/10\% (CES-DC/PHQ-2) prepandemic to 24\%/15\% in W2, and slowly decreased to 14\%/9\% in W5. Psychosomatic complaints are across all waves still on the rise. 32-44\% of the youth expressed fears related to other current crises. Conclusion Mental health of the youth improved in year 3 of the pandemic, but is still lower than before the pandemic.}, language = {en} }
