Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The major limitation of this study is the use of a web-based convenience sample, which raises concerns about the potential for selection biases and may limit the generalizability of our findings. For example, if selection into the sample differed by both mental health and life change stress indicators, this could have inflated the association between life change stress and mood. Use of this sample was motivated by the need to quickly develop and deploy the CRISIS questionnaire. CRISIS being used in several studies across the world will allow for the comparison of results across sample types and locations. In addition, we relied on recall for measurement of pre-pandemic mental health, and relied on parent reports for children, which may be less accurate for older children and for internalizing symptoms across ages.48 Furthermore, our estimates may have been influenced by sample attrition over time. Strengths of the study include the cross-national sample that enables us to demonstrate overall consistency of findings across the two geographical locations; the investigation of predictors of mental health of children, which is less common in the COVID-19 literature,49,50 and the use of sophisticated analytic techniques that allow us to gauge the relative importance of multiple predictors on mood symptoms. As vaccination rates increase and society returns to “normal,” the mental health needs of those with continued psychological distress will need to be addressed.51 Longitudinal s...
