Prepandemic Factors Associated With Pandemic Impact and Psychosocial Distress Among Mothers of Young Children.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the Coronovirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic impact among mothers of young children (0-8 years) and assess prepandemic factors associated with greater pandemic impact and psychosocial distress.

Methods

Mothers from 3 US birth cohorts (n = 301, mean child age 2.4 years) reported on demographics and psychosocial distress (anxiety, perceived stress, financial stress) before the pandemic (February 2015-February 2020). During the pandemic (July 2020-June 2021), they completed a supplemental survey about the impact of the pandemic on their families (Coronavirus Impact Scale) and psychosocial distress. Multivariable linear and ordinal logistic regression were used to evaluate prepandemic factors associated with pandemic impact overall and by domain.
