Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The drastic effect of COVID-19 has changed the world dramatically. The world is not yet out of danger; in China, some universities are still operating online to avoid any inconveniences. Adolescents are one of the groups most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. There are around 1.3 billion adolescents in the world who faced direct or indirect challenges in terms of either psychological or financial strain during the COVID-19 pandemic. Contemporary research articles have mainly focused on mental issues due to the COVID-19 outbreak; however, a specific focus on adolescents in terms of their sociopsychological issues, mental health issues, lifestyle issues, and financial strain issues is still under-explored. This Special Issue will mainly emphasize the recent psychological and financial strains of adolescents due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this Special Issue, we invite you to share your expertise as well as the results of your research through articles (original research manuscripts), reviews, and case reports addressing the above challenges.
