  • This database includes the raw data linked with the paper “COVID‐19‐related psychiatric impact on Italian adolescent population: A cross‐sectional cohort study” published on “Journal of Community Psychology”. In this paper, we investigated the prevalence rate and sociodemographic correlates of COVID‐19‐related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and COVID‐19‐related acute stress disorder (ASD) among Italian adolescents, their level of stress, perception of parental stress, and connection with mental health. Our aim was to investigate: (1) The prevalence rate and sociodemographic correlates of COVID‐19‐related PTSD and COVID‐19‐related ASD in a sample of Italian adolescents. (2) The level of personal stress and perceived parental stress, and their connection with mental health status. (3) Potential differences between healthy adolescents and adolescents with an ongoing psychiatric/psychological follow‐up or therapy. We administered an online anonymous questionnaire, built ad hoc using validated scales, to a cohort of Italian adolescents (12-18 y.o.) Our study highlighted an increase of PTSD, ASD, depressive and anxiety symptoms related to the COVID‐19 pandemic among Italian adolescents
