The objective of this project is to advance the understanding of how the parent-child-relationship is affected by the physical/social distancing measures imposed to contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Based on a representative survey of families with children under 16 years of age, the study aims to reveal risks and protective factors that may inform decision-making and policies regarding child welfare in Germany.
