aLogistic regression models for SES domains/subpopulations (lower SES and higher SES) included length of lockdown, age, sex, household type, marital status, highest education achieved, employment, long-term health conditions, PCS score and MCS score. Covariates included in the model (except for length of lockdown) were obtained from wave 19 (pre-pandemic). Full logistic regression models for the effect of each variable included in the model are presented in Supplementary Table S2.

bIncremental increase of 30 additional days of lockdown.

cIncremental decrease of 1 SD in PCS score (1 SD = 10.69).

dIncremental decrease of 1 SD in MCS score (1 SD = 11.33).
