Similarly, there were interventions aimed to improve access to care, via providing online consultations (the Netherlands, Spain and Denmark) and helplines for children and adolescents with mental health problems (Denmark, Portugal). We differentiate child and adolescent public health into eight core public health priorities, all most probably affected by the pandemic (Children's Commisioner 2018): (1) injuries, (2) mental health (3) maltreatment, (4) risky behaviors, (5) nutrition in early life and prevention of childhood and adolescent obesity, (6) vaccination uptake, (7) access to health care, and (8) inequity in child development and learning. ./cache/cord-265530-hn7fi5cv.txt ./txt/cord-265530-hn7fi5cv.txt
