Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

disorder; mental summary = Methods: All workers in 18 healthcare institutions (6 AACC) in Spain were invited to a series of online surveys assessing a wide range of individual characteristics, COVID-19 infection status and exposure, and mental health status. Adjusting for all other variables, odds of any disabling mental disorder were: prior lifetime disorders (TUS: OR=5.74; 95%CI 2.53-13.03; Mood: OR=3.23; 95%CI:2.27-4.60; Anxiety: OR=3.03; 95%CI:2.53-3.62); age category 18-29 years (OR=1.36; 95%CI:1.02-1.82), caring "all of the time" for COVID-19 patients (OR=5.19; 95%CI: 3.61-7.46), female gender (OR=1.58; 95%CI: 1.27-1.96) and having being in quarantine or isolated (OR= 1.60; 95CI:1.31-1.95). Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses including studies on health care workers have documented that the first wave of the COVID-19 was associated with an increase of symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and burnout, as well as other adverse psychosocial outcomes. Notwithstanding the limitations, our study shows a high prevalence of current mental disorders among Spanish healthcare workers during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, with 1 in 7 presenting a disabling mental disorder. doi = 10.1101/2020.10.27.20220731 id = cord-343073-lwbddab2 author = Antiporta, D.

Eligibility criteria: quantitative and qualitative studies evaluating mental illness, wellbeing, or psychosocial health outcomes associated with respiratory propagated epidemics and pandemics exposure or periods (COVID-19, SARS-CoV, MERS, and Influenza) in people 65 years or older. In this context, and considering the increasing number of COVID-19 related articles, a systematic review targeted to older people mental health considering a full-range of neuropsychiatric, psychiatric, psychosocial, and wellbeing parameters associated with the infection or the contextual impacts related to acute respiratory disease propagated-type epidemics and pandemics, contrasting the results among groups seems pertinent and necessary to fully understand the response and experiences of older adults and other age groups in the context of pandemics. doi = 10.1101/2020.06.04.20122812 id = cord-326693-tbv1yja9 author = Arslan, Gökmen title = Meaningful Living to Promote Complete Mental Health Among University Students in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic date = 2020-11-03 keywords = life; meaning; mental summary = Further, correlation analysis was performed to investigate the association between variables, indicating that meaning in life was positively and significantly correlated with life satisfaction (r = .58, p < .001), positive feelings (r = .42, p < .001), and emotional (r = .46, p < .001), social (r = .50, p < .001), and psychological well-being (r = .61, p < .001), ranging from moderate to large effect sizes. Subsequently, meaning in life had significant and strong predictive effects on positive mental health indicators, ranging from .25 to 44 effect sizes: emotional (β = .50, t = 9.18, p < .001), social (β = 54, t = 9.82, p < .001), and psychological well-being (β = 66, t = 12.21, p < .001). Findings of the study additionally showed that meaning in life positively and significantly predicted positive mental health including emotional well-being, social well-being, and psychological well-being. The current study focused on meaning in life, subjective well-being, and some indicators of positive mental health (emotional well-being, social well-being, and psychological well-being) and of negative mental health (depression, anxiety, and somatization). doi = 10.1007/s11469-020-00416-8 id = cord-343559-kjuc3nqa author = Asiamah, Nestor title = Short-Term Changes in Behaviors Resulting from COVID-19-Related Social Isolation and Their Influences on Mental Health in Ghana date = 2020-10-08 keywords = COVID-19; change; health; mental summary = title: Short-Term Changes in Behaviors Resulting from COVID-19-Related Social Isolation and Their Influences on Mental Health in Ghana Findings indicate that reduced physical activity time and a change in sexual activity and smoking frequency are some short-term changes in behavior resulting from social isolation during the lockdown. We are, therefore, of the view that social isolation necessitated by a COVID-19-related lockdown would not only cause fear and panic in the short-term but could also lead to anxiety and consequently a decline in mental health in the general population. Our investigation was based on this primary research question: Do changes in behaviors due to COVID-19 social distancing measures have a significant influence on mental health? This study focused on possible short-term changes in behaviors resulting from COVID-19-related social isolation or fears. For the most part, changes in behaviors in the short-term attributable to COVID-19 social isolation were associated with lower mental health scores. doi = 10.1007/s10597-020-00722-4 id = cord-274996-fk510s1v author = Babatunde, Gbotemi Bukola title = Stakeholders'' perceptions of child and adolescent mental health services in a South African district: a qualitative study date = 2020-10-02 keywords = CAMH; Health; child; mental; service summary = The participants include stakeholders from the Departments of Health (DoH), Basic Education (DBE), community-based/non-governmental organizations and caregivers of children receiving CAMH care. These multiple stakeholders, particularly teachers and caregivers (parents, grandparents, foster parents and other family members), are perceived to be active gatekeepers to CAMH care, given their vital role in identifying and seeking help for children and adolescents with mental (behavioural, emotional, social and developmental) disorders. Service providers who helped to identify and refer children and adolescents potentially requiring mental health care were situated at different levels of the community, health and education systems, and included nurses in clinics, social workers in the communities, educators, learner support agents and school health nurses in schools. A senior mental health professional highlighted that the psychologists are mostly the first point of contact for children and adolescents with CAMH conditions within the hospital (most of the referrals from the schools are addressed to them) and they refer them to the appropriate specialists for cases in need of more specialized interventions. doi = 10.1186/s13033-020-00406-2 id = cord-320509-3a40djjm author = Benke, Christoph title = Lockdown, quarantine measures, and social distancing: Associations with depression, anxiety and distress at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic among adults from Germany date = 2020-09-18 keywords = COVID-19; health; mental summary = Specifically, we examined the effects of different forms and levels of restriction resulting from public health measures (e.g. quarantine, stay-at-home order) on anxiety and depression symptomatology, health anxiety, loneliness, the occurrence of fearful spells, psychosocial distress and life-satisfaction. However, studies on the effects of different forms and levels of restrictions resulting from public health measures (e.g., stay-at-home orders, being quarantined or reduction of social contacts) on mental health are scarce. For the first time, this study investigated sociodemographic and COVID-19 related factors and, specifically, the role of such different types of governmentally imposed lockdown measures for depressive and anxiety symptoms as well as other health outcomes across all federal states of Germany. In the present study, we found that a higher level of restrictions due to lockdown measures was associated with more loneliness, higher psychosocial distress and lower life-satisfaction but was not related to anxiety and depressive symptomatology or fearful spells. doi = 10.1016/j.psychres.2020.113462 id = cord-252984-79jzkdu2 author = Bickman, Leonard title = Improving Mental Health Services: A 50-Year Journey from Randomized Experiments to Artificial Intelligence and Precision Mental Health date = 2020-07-26 keywords = Bickman; Health; Mental; RCT; approach; datum; machine; research; service; study; treatment summary = I describe five principal causes of this failure, which I attribute primarily, but not solely, to methodological limitations of RCTs.

(1) harmonize terminology and specify MBC''s core components; (2) develop criterion standard methods for monitoring fidelity and reporting quality of implementation; (3) develop algorithms for MBC to guide psychotherapy; (4) test putative mechanisms of change, particularly for psychotherapy; (5) develop brief and psychometrically strong measures for use in combination; (6) assess the critical timing of administration needed to optimize patient outcomes; (7) streamline measurement feedback systems to include only key ingredients and enhance electronic health record interoperability; (8) identify discrete strategies to support implementation; (9) make evidence-based policy decisions; and (10) align reimbursement structures. doi = 10.1007/s10488-020-01065-8 id = cord-348436-mwitcseq author = Bu, F. title = Time-use and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic: a panel analysis of 55,204 adults followed across 11 weeks of lockdown in the UK date = 2020-08-21 keywords = COVID-19; mental; time summary = After controlling for bidirectionality, behaviors involving outdoor activities including gardening and exercising predicted subsequent improvements in mental health and wellbeing, while increased time spent on following news about COVID 19 predicted declines in mental health and wellbeing. For instance, studies on leisure-time use show that taking up a hobby can have beneficial effects on alleviating depressive symptoms 10 , engaging in physical activity can reduce levels of depression and anxiety and enhance quality of life [11] [12] [13] [14] , and broader leisure activities such as reading, listening to music, and volunteering can reduce depression and anxiety, increase personal empowerment and optimism, foster social connectedness, and improve life satisfaction [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] . Whilst the relationship between time use and behaviors is bidirectional, when exploring the direction of the relationship using lagged models, behaviors involving outdoor activities including gardening and exercising predicted subsequent improvements in mental health and wellbeing, while time spent watching the news about COVID-19 predicted declines in mental health and wellbeing. doi = 10.1101/2020.08.18.20177345 id = cord-321749-mf821b1p author = Buckley, Ralf title = Mental health rescue effects of women''s outdoor tourism: A role in COVID-19 recovery date = 2020-10-20 keywords = Buckley; health; mental; tourism summary = Mental and social health outcomes from a portfolio of women''s outdoor tourism products, with ~100,000 clients, are analysed using a catalysed netnography of >1000 social media posts. Therefore, this approach is a reliable first step in assessing mental and social health benefits achieved through participation in nature-based outdoor tourism. That previous analysis indicated that mental health outcomes of outdoor tourism could be classified into short-term emotional responses, medium term stress-recovery effects, and longer-term worldview changes (Buckley, 2020) . They also demonstrate, for the first time, that commercial nature tourism can create therapeutic effects such as psychological rescue, recognition of previously missing life components, and flow-on to family members, which are key aims of clinical mental health treatments such as chemotherapies and counselling (Bourdon, El-Baalbaki, Girard, Lapointe-Blackburn, & Guay, 2019; Lee, Bullock, & Hoy, 2016; Mueser et al., 2007; Swan, Keen, Reynolds, & Onwumere, 2017) . doi = 10.1016/j.annals.2020.103041 id = cord-338033-pl5hyzwp author = Carbone, Stephen R. title = Flattening the mental ill-health curve: the importance of primary prevention in managing the mental health impacts of COVID19 date = 2020-05-15 keywords = COVID19; mental summary = Over the weeks, months and years ahead it is likely that many countries will experience a ''wave'' of COVID19 related mental disorders as a result of an increase in risk factors linked to the pandemic such as social isolation; child-maltreatment; intimate partner violence; unemployment; housing and income stress; workplace trauma; and grief and loss. A focus on primary prevention is particularly important to ''flatten the curve'' and avoid a surge in incidence of mental disorders stemming from the COVID19 pandemic. Wide-scale use of evidence-based preventive interventions that address the risk factors that are escalating due to the pandemic, including social isolation; child-maltreatment; intimate partner violence; unemployment; financial and housing stress; work-related trauma; and grief and loss will be needed. Skills-building programs that enable children and young people to acquire the social and emotional skills that contribute to resilience, mental wellbeing, and a reduced risk of mental disorders also need to be scaled-up. doi = 10.1016/j.mhp.2020.200185 id = cord-297509-9f9azbjn author = Chaplin, Lucia title = Refugee mental health research: challenges and policy implications date = 2020-09-03 keywords = asylum; mental summary = It points to the growing body of evidence that can be called on in advocating for systemic change in government policy and mental health services, with significant support for a sensitive and objective inquisitorial approach to gathering evidence in support of asylum claims. The world currently hosts the highest number of refugees since the Second World War. With nearly 80 million forcibly displaced, 26 million of whom hold refugee status, 1 the needs of refugees and asylum seekers have become an increasing concern for mental health services. Their work indicates that mental illness is common among forced migrant populations and adds to the body of evidence that can be called on in advocating for systemic change in government policy and mental health services. Personal narratives, vulnerabilities, barriers to access and cultural perspectives on mental illness have been recognised as some of the difficulties in this field of research, particularly among refugees and asylum seekers. doi = 10.1192/bjo.2020.90 id = cord-326574-ke0iktly author = Chew, Alton Ming Kai title = Digital Health Solutions for Mental Health Disorders During COVID-19 date = 2020-09-09 keywords = COVID-19; Singapore; health; mental summary = In the context of the ongoing pandemic, several potential applications of these tools have emerged, such as predicting outbreaks of COVID-19 based on historic travel data and public health capacity (22) . Direct potential applications of OHCs for patients at-risk of mental health disorders include lowering the barrier to access care and support for stigmatized illnesses such as anxiety and depression, by allowing patients to seek initial medical advice anonymously (43) . The pyramid base catering to the needs of the general population could include screening tools such as big data systems and/or OHCs to actively identify and/or engage at-risk individuals without pre-existing mental health disorders, as well as provide tele-support services to reduce risk of progression in patients with mental health disorders (49) . doi = 10.3389/fpsyt.2020.582007 id = cord-331338-oegiq363 author = Cluver, Lucie title = Solving the global challenge of adolescent mental ill-health date = 2020-06-23 keywords = mental summary = As the authors discuss, 1 the booklets are likely to have been an active intervention, especially in low-resourced settings where adolescents were receiving no other mental health support. The study also shows the effectiveness of transdiagnostic approaches and common design principles in adolescent mental health, supporting the validity of moving beyond narrower diagnostic criteria to achieve wider reach without sacrificing clinical value. Sustainability and scaling up might require new research and testing of the effects of low-cost mental health interventions across Sustainable Development Goal outcomes beyond health, such as school achievement, employment, and gender equality.

Let''s speculate that by planning better structural-infrastructural urban environments and forms (D''Acci 2020) and their socio-economic systems/life styles, (eliminating crowd-congestion, pollution, greenless, noise, crime, overwork, stress, over-pace…) of our current cities we are also able to entirely reduce their extra psychosis incidences and then levelling the urban psychosis rate to the rural one. doi = 10.1007/s11299-020-00235-3 id = cord-333701-zefd3yw5 author = Fang, Min title = A mental health workforce crisis in China: A pre-existing treatment gap coping with the COVID-19 pandemic challanges date = 2020-06-25 keywords = China; mental summary = title: A mental health workforce crisis in China: A pre-existing treatment gap coping with the COVID-19 pandemic challanges On top of the large pre-existing treatment gap, China might face a mental health workforce crisis. Since 2010, the Chinese government began to prioritize mental health infrastructure development due to a high burden of mental disorders and gap in available services. For example, since 2009, the central government has directly invested 10.59 billion yuan (USD 1.57 billion), and the civil affairs department invested 2.8 billion yuan(USD 0.41 billion) aiming to build new or expand existing hospitals to achieve full coverage of mental health services in each prefecture-level city. Also, only a small number of economically welldeveloped areas in China have social workers serving mental health patients. China has made progress mostly in the medical care of severe mental disorders in hospitals. doi = 10.1016/j.ajp.2020.102265 id = cord-346310-venpta28 author = Filgueiras, A. title = Factors linked to changes in mental health outcomes among Brazilians in quarantine due to COVID-19 date = 2020-05-16 keywords = COVID-19; health; mental summary = In repeated measures analysis, female gender, worsening diet and excess of COVID-19 information was related to all mental health outcomes.

Research from past large-scale traumas can inform our knowledge of mental health effects, risk and resilience factors, and effective services and interventions, enabling us to anticipate the likely mental health impacts of the current pandemic. Individuals may be at higher risk of chronicity if they have few social supports, a history of prior trauma, a history of mental illness, were exposed directly to deaths or injuries, had severe acute reactions to the disaster, or are experiencing ongoing stressors (including occupational or financial strain) 2 . Add to these effects the potential negative impact of the economic distress that has accompanied the widespread shutdowns during COVID-19, and the consequences for at-risk individuals may be particularly severe. doi = 10.1016/j.biopsych.2020.05.012 id = cord-330849-yt44k88m author = Han, Rachel H. title = Planning for Mental Health Needs During COVID-19 date = 2020-10-08 keywords = COVID-19; SARS; health; mental; pandemic summary = The purpose of this article, written from the perspective of military medical planners, is to present available data on the prevalence of specific mental health concerns and conditions from previous recent pandemics and COVID-19, as well as to provide data-informed recommendations for meeting the psychological needs of affected individuals.

We, therefore, conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of the mental health effects of quarantine and isolation, based on controlled primary study data. For isolated/quarantined individuals, dissatisfaction with containment measures, supply, or the relationship to healthcare-personnel was associated with higher levels of anxiety and anger [13] , stress-related disorders/PTSD (2 studies [8, 14] ) and lower general mental health [8] . Large groups of the general population may be affected, but individuals who are already facing psychosocial adversities before quarantine or isolation (including persons with low income, lack of social networks, or mental health problems) appear to be among those vulnerable groups at greatest risk for negative psychological outcomes. doi = 10.1007/s00406-020-01196-x id = cord-273918-knlc3bxh author = Holmes, Emily A title = Multidisciplinary research priorities for the COVID-19 pandemic: a call for action for mental health science date = 2020-04-15 keywords = COVID-19; SARS; health; mental; research; social summary = 1,2 Furthermore, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, might infect the brain or trigger immune responses that have additional adverse effects on brain function and mental health in patients with Research funders and researchers must deploy resources to understand the psychological, social, and neuroscientific effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS: Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) were administrated among 1472 health care workers from Jiangsu Province, China during the peak period of COVID-19 outbreak. Thus, the present research employed a sample of Chinese health care workers during COVID-19 outbreak to explore a conceptual model in which, on the one hand, resilience mediated the association between social support and mental health; On the other hand, the indirect relationships between social support and mental health via resilience were moderated by age group. Considering the present study was to compare the indirect effect of social support on mental health via resilience between the young and middle-aged heath care workers, participants aged 50 or over were excluded. doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0233831 id = cord-319051-naj1nl9x author = Ibáñez-Vizoso, Jesús E title = Perspectivas Internacionales en Salud Mental ante la pandemia por el nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 date = 2020-04-17 keywords = Mental; Salud summary = Algunos estudios han descrito un importante impacto psicológico de estas epidemias sobre la población general, los pacientes y los sanitarios, proponiendo diferentes medidas para garantizar la Salud Mental y evitar la progresión de psicopatología en estas circunstancias 1,2 .

This study emphasizes that culturally-responsive trauma-informed approaches can help bridge gaps between mental health care and resettlement services and promote exchanges of knowledge and expertise to build collaborative care and community partnership. Given such gaps, the authors developed a tailored training program that helps refugee service providers build competencies related to trauma-informed care in crosscultural settings and community partnerships for referrals and coordination of care. In order to address the gap in culturally-competent traumainformed care in refugee resettlement services, the first author developed an interactive training curriculum based on Herman''s trauma recovery model [20] and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA)''s core principles of trauma-informed care [21] . doi = 10.1007/s10903-020-00992-w id = cord-300229-9qh7efs4 author = Inchausti, Felix title = Psychological Intervention and COVID-19: What We Know So Far and What We Can Do date = 2020-05-27 keywords = COVID-19; health; mental; psychological summary = The coronavirus COVID-19 and the global pandemic has already had a substantial disruptive impact on society, posing major challenges to the provision of mental health services in a time of crisis, and carrying the spectre of an increased burden to mental health, both in terms of existing psychiatric disorder, and emerging psychological distress from the pandemic.

In conversation with others in my community, we feel that transformations of our mental models as a result of the fires have somehow made us more prepared for the social-economic changes that have accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic. 9 By extending our research to explore how people''s mental models shift and transform as a result of extreme events, we can support individuals and communities more effectively in their preparation and, crucially, their recovery. doi = 10.1016/j.oneear.2020.05.009 id = cord-335549-fzusgbww author = Newby, J. title = Acute mental health responses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia date = 2020-05-08 keywords = COVID-19; health; mental summary = Self-report questionnaires examined COVID-19 fears and behavioural responses to COVID-19, as well as the severity of psychological distress (depression, anxiety and stress), health anxiety, contamination fears, alcohol use, and physical activity. Demographic (e.g., non-binary or different gender identity; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status), occupational (e.g., being a carer or stay at home parent), and psychological (e.g., perceived risk of contracting COVID-19) factors were associated with distress. People with a previous self-reported mental health diagnosis reported higher uncertainty, loneliness, 269 financial worries, COVID-19 fears (self and others), believed they were more likely to contract 270 had lower perceived behavioural control, had higher rates of psychological distress, health anxiety and 271 contamination fears, and lower physical activity than those without a self-reported mental health diagnosis 272 history. Having a personal history of chronic illness was a consistent predictor of higher depression, 366 anxiety and stress, whereas better self-rated health was associated with better mental health. doi = 10.1101/2020.05.03.20089961 id = cord-333187-8p61xten author = Norr, Aaron M. title = Pilot Trial of a Transdiagnostic Computerized Anxiety Sensitivity Intervention Among VA Primary Care Patients date = 2020-08-17 keywords = cast; mental; veteran summary = This study evaluated the Cognitive Anxiety Sensitivity Treatment (CAST), a previously developed computerized treatment that has shown efficacy in community samples for mental health symptoms including: anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal ideation. Study aims were to: (1) collect user feedback from Veterans regarding the acceptability/usability of CAST and potential areas of improvement for use with Veterans, and; (2) investigate the preliminary efficacy of CAST in reducing mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, and PTSD) among Veterans enrolled in VA primary care. After informed consent, participants completed baseline self-report measures that assessed demographics, current and past mental health treatment, as well as symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Results from the current study suggest that the single-session CAST program could be an acceptable, effective, and efficient way to provide evidence-based mental health care to VA primary care patients. doi = 10.1016/j.psychres.2020.113394 id = cord-255360-yjn24sja author = O''Connor, Daryl B. title = Research priorities for the COVID‐19 pandemic and beyond: A call to action for psychological science date = 2020-07-19 keywords = COVID-19; health; mental; pandemic; people; psychological; research; social summary = The most pressing need is to research the negative biopsychosocial impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic to facilitate immediate and longer‐term recovery, not only in relation to mental health, but also in relation to behaviour change and adherence, work, education, children and families, physical health and the brain, and social cohesion and connectedness.

Additionally, among those with children with developmental or mental health problems, older parental age of onset of the child''s condition was protective of parental well-being, and longer duration of the child''s condition also predicted better health outcomes, suggesting that parents may adapt to the stress of their caregiving role over time. Having a child with a developmental or mental health problem will predict higher negative affect, lower psychological well-being, and a greater number of somatic symptoms, at both a baseline time point and a 10-year follow-up, compared to parents of children without these problems. doi = 10.1016/j.socscimed.2020.113309 id = cord-291735-b6dksrbx author = Sukut, Ozge title = The impact of COVID‐19 pandemic on people with severe mental illness date = 2020-09-19 keywords = covid-19; mental summary = CONCLUSION: Given the psychosocial effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic process and the vulnerability of individuals with mental illness, it is clear that some preventive measures will increase the well‐being of these individuals and reduce relapses. Ignoring the effect of the outbreak on people with mental illness will not only inhibit the measures taken to prevent further spread of COVID-19, but also increase existing health inequalities. The individual with severe mental illness are more sensitive against infection for various reasons such as decreasing cognitive ability and awareness of self-care, using medication continuously and limited conditions in psychiatry clinics. 8 This can lead to an increase the risk of infection, including pneumonia, in individuals with mental health illness. Prevention measures such as isolation and quarantine can lead to fear, anxiety, and uncertainty for patients, causing to increase the diseases related with stress and at the same time it can cause exacerbation of pre-existing mental disorders. doi = 10.1111/ppc.12618 id = cord-344584-t421g3zc author = Swendsen, Joel title = COVID-19 and mental health: How one pandemic can reveal another date = 2020-09-15 keywords = disorder; mental summary = The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected individuals with mental disorders, and revealed fundamental flaws in how vulnerable persons are treated in the context of such crises. As mental disorders are now the single greatest cause of disability, we have reached the point where the tremendous personal and societal costs associated with these conditions can no longer be ignored. The epidemiologic studies with the highest rates (notably including the National Comorbidity Survey, or NCS) were also those that took steps to overcome biases leading to the under-reporting of disorder prevalence. With one in every two individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for a mental disorder at some point, these results reveal the staggering magnitude of the mental health crisis.

This editorial describes the evidence base for optimising staff support and how healthcare systems such as the National Health Service (NHS) can practically implement such approaches. Although there is no evidence to support more generalised post-incident organisational screening, experienced welfare-focused staff with training in predisposing risk factors and developing signs of mental illness can be utilised to help identify individuals appearing to be developing difficulties and to appropriately follow them up, for example at the end of a shift. Moral injury and the development of mental illness are very real risks for staff working in unprecedented scenarios often well outside their ordinary levels of experience and training.

Using the method of cluster-agon analysis, we identified four terminological clusters in our data, in which mental health/illness is conceptualized as "dangerous," "a matter of lifestyle," "a unique story and experience," and "socially situated." We furthermore found that we cannot unambiguously assume that biopsychiatric discourses or discourses aimed at empathy and understanding are either exclusively stigmatizing or exclusively empowering and normalizing. However, our data suggest that news coverage that relates mental health problems to crime is still largely informed by the biocommunicable model of biomedical authority, with most of the terminology surrounding the concept of mental distress referring to biomedical psychiatry (i.e., illness, disorder, diagnosis, treatment, medication, and psychiatric expert). doi = 10.1177/1049732320912409 id = cord-291753-9p5ppawn author = Winhusen, Theresa title = The Opioid-overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach (ORCCA): Evidence-based Practices in the HEALing Communities Study date = 2020-10-04 keywords = Abuse; Health; MOUD; Mental; Services; Use; opioid summary = The CTH intervention seeks to facilitate widespread implementation of three evidence-based practices (EBPs) with the potential to reduce opioid-involved overdose fatalities: overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND), effective delivery of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), and safer opioid analgesic prescribing.

According to protection motivation theory, we hypothesized that the association between the exposure level during the COVID-19 epidemic and mental health problems was mediated by both individuals'' perceived threat of COVID-19 risk and their coping efficacy (see Fig. 1 ). This hypothesis is based on the fact that numerous studies have indicated Fig. 1 Proposed model of exposure level, risk perception and mental health problems that self-efficacy is an effective factor to cope with a crisis and buffer psychological distress [34] . Overall, this study confirmed the psychological typhoon eye effect during the outbreak of COVID-19 in China and demonstrated the mediating role of coping efficacy and perceived threat between exposure to COVID-19 and mental health problems. doi = 10.1186/s12992-020-00626-8 id = cord-315247-86ibo5gn author = Ćosić, Krešimir title = Artificial intelligence in prediction of mental health disorders induced by the COVID-19 pandemic among health care workers date = 2020-06-17 keywords = covid-19; health; mental; phase summary = The article proposes a methodology for prediction of mental health disorders induced by the pandemic, which includes: Phase 1) objective assessment of the intensity of HCWs'' stressor exposure, based on information retrieved from hospital archives and clinical records; Phase 2) subjective self-report assessment of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by HCWs and their relevant psychological traits; Phase 3) design and development of appropriate multimodal stimulation paradigms to optimally elicit specific neuro-physiological reactions; Phase 4) objective measurement and computation of relevant neuro-physiological predictor features based on HCWs'' reactions; and Phase 5) statistical and machine learning analysis of highly heterogeneous data sets obtained in previous phases. doi = 10.3325/cmj.2020.61.279
