Impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on mental health: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in England and Scotland

Manuel Serrano-Alarcon et al.

Summary: The study found that easing lockdown measures rapidly improves mental health, particularly for individuals with lower socioeconomic status. Overall, mental health appears to be more affected by containment policies than by the actual evolution of the pandemic itself. Further efforts are needed to minimize the negative impact of COVID-19 containment policies on mental health.

Unrepresentative big surveys significantly overestimated US vaccine uptake

Valerie C. Bradley et al.

Global monitoring of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through online surveys sampled from the Facebook user base

Christina M. Astley et al.

Summary: Tracking the global impact of COVID-19 is challenging due to regional variation in resources and reporting. However, leveraging self-reported survey outcomes via an international social media network can provide standardized data streams to support monitoring and decision-making worldwide. The UMD-CTIS survey data analyzed from 114 countries/territories demonstrated consistent respondent demographics over time.

Trajectories of anxiety and depressive symptoms during enforced isolation due to COVID-19 in England: a longitudinal observational study

Daisy Fancourt et al.

Summary: The study found that anxiety and depression levels decreased over the 20 weeks following the lockdown in England, with the fastest decreases seen in the early strict lockdown period, and symptoms plateauing as lockdown easing measures were introduced. Risk factors for higher levels of anxiety and depression at the start of lockdown included being a woman, younger, lower educational attainment, lower income, pre-existing mental health conditions, and living alone or with children. These inequalities were reduced as lockdown continued, but differences were still evident 20 weeks after the start of lockdown.
