The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health is challenging to quantify because factors such as pre-existing risk, disease burden, and public policy varied across individuals, time, regions. To understand dynamic relationships between these factors, we analyzed time-varying associations psychiatric vulnerability, loneliness, psychological distress, social distancing in a longitudinal study during first year pandemic. Participants (n = 3655) were surveyed regarding outcomes COVID-19-related circumstances every two weeks for six months. We combined self-reported outcomes, regional estimates, vulnerability classifier that predicted probabillity diagnosis at time enrollment. Loneliness both impacted distress. distress also linked distancing, loneliness fully mediated distancing’s Future policies should address when encouraged, particularly those risk conditions.

Regional variations in SARS-CoV-2 infection were observed Canada and other countries. Studies have used multilevel analyses to examine how a context, such as neighbourhood, can affect the rates of people within it. However, few studies quantified magnitude general contextual effect (GCE) assessed it may be associated with individual- area-level characteristics. To address this gap, we will illustrate application median rate ratio (MRR) Poisson analysis for quantifying GCE Ontario, Canada.

This study aims to assess which population groups experienced the heaviest mortality burden during first three COVID-19 waves in Belgium; and investigate potential changes social differences all-cause epidemic compared pre-COVID period. Exhaustive information (2015–2021) from Belgian register was linked demographic socioeconomic census data. Annual cohorts consisting of 6.5 million 6.8 persons were created selecting aged 35 older. Excess investigated comparing 137,354 deaths observed with reference period 2015–2019. Methods analysis include direct standardization Poisson regression analyses. Elderly men highest absolute all COVID-waves, followed by elderly women, middle-aged men, women. Care home residents consistently higher rates second wave peers living other arrangements. In 3, care showed significant deficits When adjusting for factors, traditional pattern educational income inequalities found among COVID-waves. contrast, gap deepened COVID-waves 2 3 excess between 19 30% mainly lower-educated persons. Income women remained stable or even diminished some specific waves. The widening successive suggest an important role knowledge associated resources epidemic. Belgium's broad implementation public health control prevention measures may have successfully averted a further inequality population.
