Alma Economics was commissioned by Public Health Wales to carry out a review of evidence on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated government measures on the mental well-being of babies, children, and young people. Our team conducted a systematic literature review to provide evidence-based answers on the impact of the pandemic, and an analysis of recent data capturing the changes in children's mental well-being before and during the pandemic.

Public Health Wales will use the report findings to support a Mental Well-being Impact Assessment (MWIA) of the impact of Covid-19 on children and young people, to inform policy and decision-making among stakeholders in Wales.
