The respondents completed measures on situational impact, meaning in life, societal pessimism, Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4), hikikomori, and suicidality.

Social impact, physical impact, and PHQ-4 were the central nodes in the 2021 and 2023 networks. Meaning in life showed negative linkages with other psychosocial factors. Suicidality showed positive linkages with societal pessimism, hikikomori, and PHQ-4 in the networks. Network comparison found no significant differences in network structure and global strength across gender, age, and waves. Societal pessimism showed significantly stronger linkages with financial impact, meaning in life, and suicidality in 2023 than 2021.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results enhance the understanding of comorbidity among psychosocial and situational risk factors of suicidality, which have implications for future interventions to improve mental health outcomes among young adults at risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00207640251337963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,27]],"date-time":"2025-05-27T01:17:00Z","timestamp":1748308620000},"page":"1350-1360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Situational impact, psychosocial risk factors, and suicidality among young adults in Hong Kong during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: A repeated cross-sectional network analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"71","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5210-5531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ted CT","family":"Fong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Hub of Population Studies, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"},{"name":"Centre on Behavioral Health, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu Cheng","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HKJC Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1596-4120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul SF","family":"Yip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HKJC Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"},{"name":"Department of Social Work &amp; Social Administration, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bersia M.
