Abstract
Social support moderates the relationship between healthcare access during the COVID-19 pandemic and anxiety such that at-risk adolescents who received lower social support presented a stronger association between healthcare insecurity and anxiety symptoms. Our findings illuminate the potential role healthcare policy has in promoting adolescent mental health during medical crises.
