Socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The pandemic affected families.  In a study from Vanderbilt University, 27% of American parents said their mental health had gotten worse and 14% of parents reported their children's mental health had gotten worse.  Many families lost child care and health insurance.  Many families found it more difficult to get enough food.  Families with younger children were more affected because they were more likely to miss child care.
