Dynamics of psychological distress
Overall, these findings suggest that the variation in psychological distress between the waves was mostly influenced by social support, loneliness, and social activities, rather than by exposure to COVID-19. Mitigation policies aimed at controlling the pandemic should focus more on addressing specific individual psychosocial vulnerabilities
Specialized mental healthcare use for common mental disorders and prescription of antidepressants before and during the Covid-19 pandemic among working-age refugees and Swedish-born individuals – a na…
Refugees, especially those already in a marginalized position, had increased CMD-related mental healthcare use during the pandemic. Strategies to meet the mental health care needs of marginalized refugees are of outmost public health importance
Association between tuberculosis and psychotic experiences
Background: Tuberculosis may play a role in the aetiology of psychosis. However, little is known about the association between tuberculosis and psychotic experiences (PEs) or the mediating factors of this association. Methods: We analysed cross-sectional data from 48 low- and middle-income countries of the World Health Survey (WHS). Tuberculosis assessment was based on past 12-month symptoms of active tuberculosis. We assessed four types of past …

The role of social support, detachment, and depressive and anxiety symptoms in suicidal thoughts and behaviours during the Covid-19 lockdown
The Association of Age With Depression, Anxiety, and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Spain
OBJECTIVE: Older adults may be at lower risk of common mental disorders than younger adults during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Previous research has shown shown differences by age in psychosocial well-being during the pandemic and have highlighted the moderating effect of prepandemic mental disorders on that association. In this line, we examined the association of age with self-reported symptoms of loneliness, depression, a…
Health status and quality of life in comorbid physical multimorbidity and depression among adults aged ⩾50 years from low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Data on the clinical and functional significance of comorbid depression in physical multimorbidity in middle-aged and older adults and from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are lacking. AIMS: This study aims to determine the association of comorbid depression in physical multimorbidity with health outcomes and quality of life among adults aged ⩾50 years from six LMICs. METHODS: Cross-sectional, nationally representative data f…

Suicide risk in male incarcerated individuals in Spain
Several correlates within a comprehensive range of sociodemographic, criminological, clinical and prison-related variables were identified. This information is primordial for preventing suicide and reducing the existing risk. The findings may contribute to developing effective suicide prevention programs within Spanish prison services. Importantly, future research must continue to investigate the nature of suicidal outcomes among incarcerated ind…
Social inequalities in mental and physical health derived from the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain beyond Sars-CoV-2 infection
Prevalence of health problems increased during the COVID-19 pandemic in all education groups, but the increase was higher in women and men with a high level of education, suggesting that its impact appeared later in this group. Further analysis on the role of governmental economic aid given to vulnerable people might shed light on this evolution
Are we equally at risk of changing smoking behavior during a public health crisis? Impact of educational level on smoking from the Tempo cohort
Current findings showed a widening of the social inequality gap in relation to smoking rates, underscoring the increased vulnerability of persons with low educational level to smoking and the likely inadequate focus on social inequalities in relation to tobacco control policies during the pandemic
Mental health problems and needs of frontline healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain
Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) from COVID-19 hotspots worldwide have reported poor mental health outcomes since the pandemic's beginning. The virulence of the initial COVID-19 surge in Spain and the urgency for rapid evidence constrained early studies in their capacity to inform mental health programs accurately. Here, we used a qualitative research design to describe relevant mental health problems among frontline HCWs and explore their a…
The Mental Health of Employees with Job Loss and Income Loss during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak, which was followed by home confinement, is expected to have had profound negative impact on the mental health of people. Associated factors, such as losing jobs and income, can be expected to lead to an increased risk of suffering from psychopathological problems. Therefore, this study was aimed at researching the associations of job and income loss with mental health, as well as the possible mediating role of perceived fin…
