Hidden Pain: Children Who Lost a Parent or Caregiver to COVID-19

Hidden Pain documents the scope of COVID-19's impact on American children, estimating that more than 167,000 lost a parent or in-home caregiver — with non-white children losing caregivers at up to four times the rate of white children. Co-authored by Marked by COVID alongside researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Nemours Children's Health, the report offers a comprehensive blueprint for identifying affected children and providing clinical, community-based, and economic support.
