Abstract

The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges with implications for wellbeing and mental health.  Data are being collected about experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on participants in the Southampton Women's Survey.  Mothers in the study will be contacted by both e-mail and text message asking them to complete an online questionnaire covering issues including mental health, health behaviours, grocery shopping experiences and self-efficacy.  The study offspring of these women are currently aged 12-21 years and the mothers will be asked to forward a link where appropriate asking the offspring to complete a similar online questionnaire tailored to their age group.  The longitudinal information available on these participants, stretching back to prospective data collected before the mothers were pregnant, will enable greater understanding of influences on health and wellbeing during the pandemic.
