Parent psychological distress and parent child relationships two years into the COVID-19 pandemic: Results from a Canadian cross-sectional study

Parents with children living at home were early on identified as a population at heightened mental health risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, with concerns about the potential long-term impacts of the pandemic on parents’ mental health, family functioning, and children’s well-being. This study investigates impacts of the pandemic on parents’ psychological distress, contextual sources of distress, and associations with family functioning nearly two years into the pandemic.
