Below Clinical Concern Mothers Pre-COVID-19
Mothers who had low mental health challenges prior to COVID-19 had the
most stable mental health during COVID-19 (i.e., 55.4% of mothers in
this profile remained in the low clinical concern profile; Figure 2). A
total of 30.7% of mothers with a good mental health profile prior to
COVID-19 transitioned from below clinical concern and low stress prior
to COVID-19 to a profile with similar clinical scores but higher average
stress scores during COVID-19). Only a small proportion of mothers who
were of low clinical concern prior to COVID-19 were identified as
transitioning to the clinical depression and highly stressed profile and
the clinical concern profile.
