cord-352770-6mz9abmc	Daly, Michael	Psychological distress and adaptation to the COVID-19 crisis in the United States	2020-10-27		.txt	text/plain	3734	173	54	This study identified substantial increases in distress in the US during the emergence of the COVID-19 crisis that largely diminished in the weeks that followed and suggests that population level resilience in mental health may be occurring in response to the pandemic. The objective of the present was to examine how psychological distress has changed during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and to examine whether there are population sub-groups who are particularly vulnerable to persistent distress during the crisis, including those with pre-existing mental health diagnoses. Consistent with other studies examining mental health (e.g. Daly et al., 2020; McGinty et al., 2020) , we found evidence that distress increased from mid-March to early-April, 2020 as the pandemic first emerged in the US. Substantial increases in distress in the US during the emergence of the COVID-19 crisis largely diminished in the weeks that followed and this suggests that population level resilience in mental health may be occurring in response to the pandemic.	./cache/cord-352770-6mz9abmc.txt	./txt/cord-352770-6mz9abmc.txt
