A caregiver's education level and their child's age played large roles in determining their primary sources of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers found in a recent study by NIH's Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program.
Caregivers of young children faced more challenges
Caregivers with children between the ages of 1 and 5 years reported the least support from school systems, the most difficulty finding childcare, and fewer remote learning options. They were also more likely to have health care appointments canceled due to COVID‑19 concerns and were most concerned about how the pandemic would affect their ability to work.
"Our findings suggest that families with young children may need more support related to childcare and work flexibility, especially when school disruptions are involved," Dr. LeWinn said.Future research may investigate the long-term effects these pandemic challenges may have on children in the ECHO Program over time.Kaja Z.
