Overview
Brief Summary
The coronavirus outbreak is a stressful event for the whole population. Confinement measures are protective against the risk of dissemination of the virus, but they can also lead to several psychological symptoms. In children, a study in China has reported about 20% of depressive or anxious troubles in school-age children after a 4-week period of confinement.
In France, confinement lasted about 8 weeks. School resumed on May 11th for primary school children and on June 2nd for secondary school children.
In this survey, we aim at exploring the psychological status of these children and the impact on their schooling, for better understanding, support and prevention. Through this online questionnaire, we also aim at giving some psycho-education advices. Finally, we could identify some subgroups of children particularly vulnerable, and organise some specific support for them in coming months.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Proportion of children presenting signs of psychological suffering during confinement.
Time Frame: We plan to address a first online questionnaire in June 2020 (school resumption after confinement), and a follow-up questionnaire 3 months later, in September 2020.
We plan to assess the psychological status of children during coronavirus outbreak : negative and positive feeling during confinement, worries and expectations about school resumption. We also aim at correlating high stress levels with environmental or/and temperamental factors.
