Abstract
The increasing prevalence of high psychological distress amongst young people found in the first wave of the COVID Social Mobility and Opportunities (COSMO) study was striking.¹ Over 2 in 5 (44%) of 16–17-year-olds in England were classified as having high psychological distress in 2021, compared to 35% for the ‘Our Future’ cohort in 2017, and 23% for the ‘Next Steps’ cohort in 2007. For the COSMO cohort, high levels of psychological distress were also seen at higher rates for young carers, sufferers of long COVID and those identifying as ‘non-binary+’.¹
