| Impact statement: This study highlights a high prevalence of mental health burdens among adolescents in Bangladesh during COVID-19 home quarantine, with 67.08% experiencing depression, 49.38% anxiety, and 40.68% stress. It identifies that females, college students, and those with limited social communication are particularly vulnerable. The findings serve as a call to action for policymakers to introduce specialized psychological support and redesign future lockdown protocols to better protect the mental health of younger generations. | Collaboration: Other | Keywords: Mental health, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Adolescents, Home quarantine, Lockdown, Pandemic, COVID-19, Bangladesh |
