我们试图探索COVID-19大流行最初几个月对博戈塔年轻人（18至24岁）的心理健康和心理社会影响。我们进行了一项横断面研究，使用基于网络的调查评估2020年COVID-19疫情封锁的前4个月内居住在博戈塔的18至24岁人群的心理健康和个人影响。采用PHQ-8和GAD-7分别测量抑郁症状和焦虑症状。我们还设计了一份调查问卷，探讨个人、家庭和社交生活的变化。总体而言，23%的样本（n = 834）报告轻度抑郁症状（男性24%，女性23%）; 29%报告中度抑郁症状（男性28%，女性30%）; 22%中度-重度症状（男性20%，女性23%）和17%重度症状（男性15%，女性17%）。29%的样本报告了轻度焦虑症状（男性30%，女性29%）;中度焦虑症状29%（男性26%，女性30%）;中重度焦虑18%（男性15%，女性20%）和重度焦虑6.0%（男性6.0%，女性6.0%）。高抑郁症状（PHQ-8 ≥ 10）与女性有关，考虑到隔离是有压力的，有一个家庭成员失去了工作，家庭关系恶化，体力活动减少和营养不良的饮食。有高焦虑症状（GAD-7 ≥ 10）与有时没有足够的钱买食物有关。大流行封锁的头几个月与生活在哥伦比亚博戈塔的年轻人的高度抑郁和焦虑症状有关。在封城期间，有必要增加公共卫生措施，为年轻人提供支持，并有必要进一步探讨COVID-19疫情带来的个人、家庭和社会变化对心理健康的长期影响。
We sought to explore mental health and psychosocial impact among young people (18 to 24 years old) in Bogotá during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. We carried a cross sectional study using a web-based survey to assess mental health and personal impact among 18 to 24 years old living in Bogotá during the first 4 months of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The depressive symptoms were measured with PHQ-8 and anxiety symptoms with (GAD-7). We also designed a questionnaire exploring changes in personal, family and social life. Overall, 23% of the sample (n = 834) reported mild depressive symptoms (males 24% and females 23%); 29% reported moderate depressive symptoms (males 28%, females 30%); 22% moderate-severe symptoms (males 20%, females 23%) and 17% severe symptoms (males 15%, females 17%). Mild anxiety symptoms were reported by 29% of the sample (males 30%, females 29%); moderate anxiety symptoms by 29% (males 26%, females 30%); moderate-severe 18% (males 15%, females 20%) and severe anxiety by 6.0% (males 6.0% and females 6.0%). High symptoms of depression (PHQ-8 ≥ 10) were associated with being female, considering that the quarantine was stressful, having one member of the family losing their job, worsening of family relationships, decrease of physical activity and having a less nutritious diet. Having high anxiety symptoms (GAD-7 ≥ 10) were associated with sometimes not having enough money to buy food. The first months of the pandemic lockdown were associated with high depressive and anxiety symptoms among young persons living in Bogotá, Colombia. Increasing public health measures to provide support for young people is needed during lockdowns and it is necessary to further explore the long-term mental health impact due to personal, family and social changes brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
