新冠疫情后幼儿行为变化:三座美国城市的前瞻性追踪研究
Changes in young children's behavior following COVID-19 pandemic onset: A tale of three cities
一项追踪美国纽约、匹兹堡和塔尔萨三城低收入及种族多元化幼儿的研究发现,疫情后行为变化因城市而异。研究基于2016至2023年间对1124名儿童的重复行为测量,纽约儿童行为持平或略有改善,塔尔萨持平或略差,匹兹堡则变差。作者指出,未来疫情影响的评估需考虑地区差异。
Several reports have described increases in children's behavior problems since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but few were based on prospective data or represented groups who disproportionately experienced pandemic-related hardships. This study followed low-income and racially diverse young children from 3 U.S. cities–New York, NY, Pittsburgh, PA, and Tulsa, OK—with repeated measures of child behavior between 2016 and 2023. A total of 1,124 children were included (50% female; 48% Hispanic/Latine; 30% Black; 22% White/Other race/ethnicity; aged 3–7 at pandemic onset). Results reveal different patterns of behavior change by city. In New York, children's behavior stayed the same or slightly improved following the pandemic onset, whereas it stayed the same or got slightly worse in Tulsa, and got worse in Pittsburgh. Future studies of pandemic impacts should consider regional variation.
