Quantifying the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender equality on health, social, and economic indicators: a comprehensive review of data from March, 2020, to September, 2021

Luisa S. Flor et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the indirect effects of COVID-19 on gender disparities globally. The findings showed that during the pandemic, women experienced greater inequality in employment, forgoing work to care for others, dropping out of school, and experiencing gender-based violence. These results indicate the need for prioritizing policies that promote women's participation in the labor force and education, enabling them to overcome the barriers they face.

Evaluating official development assistance-funded granting mechanisms for global health and development research that is initiated in high-income countries

Adele Cassola et al.

Summary: A carefully designed funding approach can provide valuable and contextually relevant knowledge on global health and development issues. To ensure the benefits reach ODA-receiving countries, the programs should focus on recipient-country priorities, translate research into context-appropriate technologies, establish equitable partnerships, enhance individual and institutional capacity, and emphasize knowledge mobilization.

Global prevalence and burden of depressive and anxiety disorders in 204 countries and territories in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Damian F. Santomauro et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence and burden of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders globally in 2020. The findings showed that the pandemic led to increased prevalence of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, with females and younger age groups being more affected. The pandemic has created an increased urgency to strengthen mental health systems in most countries and mitigation strategies are needed to address the burden of these mental disorders.

Cryptic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and the first COVID-19 wave

Jessica T. Davis et al.

Summary: Considerable uncertainty surrounds the timeline of introductions and onsets of SARS-CoV-2 globally. Modelling results suggest early community transmission in Europe and the USA, with only a small percentage of infections detected, highlighting international travel as a key factor and suggesting the need for innovative surveillance systems.

How the scientific community responded to the COVID-19 pandemic: A subject-level time-trend bibliometric analysis

Mohammad-Reza Malekpour et al.

Summary: Through bibliometric analysis of COVID-19 literature, it was found that the scientific community's interest in research increased as the incidence of the pandemic rose. However, only one-fifth of publications resulted from international collaboration, highlighting the need for policies to attract more international collaboration and direct funding towards higher priority domains.

Tracking development assistance for health and for COVID-19: a review of development assistance, government, out-of-pocket, and other private spending on health for 204 countries and territories, 1990-2050

Angela E. Micah et al.

Summary: Global health spending is expected to continue to grow, but remain unequally distributed between countries. In 2020, we estimate that development organisations substantially increased the amount of development assistance for health provided. Continued efforts are needed to raise sufficient resources to mitigate the pandemic for the most vulnerable, and to help curtail the pandemic for all.
