Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths & Limitations: The strength of our study lies in the detailed data from the large ALSPAC population. The longitudinal data has provided not just a snapshot of the state of mind of the population during the crisis but has allowed us to assess its development from a pre-pandemic baseline state. The detailed questionnaires also provide us with details about specific concerns during lockdown. There are limitations to our data. Asthma diagnoses were self-reported, so may over- or under-represent the true asthma population within the group. Whilst this might confound the effect of the physical symptoms of asthma on mental health during the pandemic, it will not affect the psychological outcome of those carrying the label of an asthma diagnosis that is central to our hypothesis. Furthermore, we have evidence of the validity of the self-reported asthma in ALSPAC [29]. The ALSPAC-G0 pre-pandemic assessments of anxiety and depression were made using different assessment tools to those used in the COVID-19 assessment, but we have still managed to assess the mental state of this population over time. It is difficult to say whether the increase in anxiety and decrease in mental wellbeing in the participants with asthma translates to a significant pathological effect. We do not have data regarding healthcare utilisation of the cohorts pre- and post-lockdown. We are unsure whether people have sought help for their asthma or mental health issues, or whether there has been reduced c...
