The Science Article of the Year is a review by Professor Emerita Arja Rimpelä and researcher Anna Myöhänen, which examines the significance of school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic in the deterioration of young people’s mental health.
The selection was made by the editorial board of Lääkärilehti (The Finnish Medical Journal). The board members praised the article for addressing a timely and anticipated topic, as well as for providing guidance for future pandemics.
Warm congratulations to the authors! Arja Rimpelä leads the NEDIS – Children’s and Adolescents’ Health Promotion research group which is part of the TamCAM research center.
