DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Current reports suggest an increase in adolescent 
 mental health symptoms associated with the pandemic\, more marked in girls
 . In this talk\, I present analyses which separate out pandemic and age ty
 pical maturation effects using three waves of data spanning pre-pandemic t
 o post-lockdown in young adolescents from a UK birth cohort. Findings show
  the increase in girls depression is explained by a natural maturational r
 ise\, whereas boys show a pandemic-related rise in symptoms. \n\n*Biograph
 y:* Dr Nicky Wright is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Manch
 ester Metropolitan University. Her research focuses on using advanced stat
 istical methods to identify risk and resilience processes in childhood and
  adolescent mental health problems. Her recent work uses prospective data 
 to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on child and parent ment
 al health\, and to identify subgroups most at risk and provide potential t
 argets for intervention. For detailed biography of Dr Wright\, please visi
