The Co-SPACE study tracked parents, children, and young people’s mental health between March 2020 and July 2021, and followed up with participating families at various points between March 2022 and March 2023.
The Co-SPACE survey was created to collect data from parents/carers of children and young people aged 4-16 years and there was also an opportunity for young people aged 11-16 to report on themselves. The Co-SPYCE survey was for parents/carers of pre-school children aged 2-4 years. We also invited parents/carers and young people, as well as people who work with children and young people, to take part in an interview about their experiences during the pandemic.
