Young carers in the COVID-19 pandemic: risks for mental health
Open accessAbstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lives across the world, however for some groups, the disruption has been more keenly experienced - this includes young carers. Young carers are children, adolescents and young adults who provide informal care to someone else, typically a parent or other family member with a disability, long term health condition or who is elderly. In developed countries, it is estimated that 2-8% of those aged under 18 years are young carers [1]. The disadvantage and invisibility of young carers, already substantial prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been exacerbated during the pandemic, with likely implications for their ongoing mental health and well-being.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
