1 The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Mental Health of Workers in Health Services: The Covid-19 HEalth caRe wOrkErS (HEROES) Study

Since December 2019 the world has been shaken with an enormous global threat: the Covid-19 pandemic. This new kind of coronavirus is generating an unprecedented impact both on the general population and on the healthcare systems in most countries. Health services are trying to expand their capacity to respond to the pandemic, taking actions such as increasing the number of beds; acquiring necessary equipment to provide intensive therapy (ventilators), and calling retired health professionals and health students so they can assist the overwhelmed health care workforce. Unfortunately, these organizational changes at health facilities, along with the fears and concerns of becoming ill with the virus or infecting their families, put an enormous emotional burden on workers in health services which may lead to negative outcomes on mental health in this population. Recent cross-sectional studies in China indicate that health service workers exposed to people with Covid-19 reported higher rates of depressive and anxious symptoms. This negative impact on mental health among health workers in China has also been informally reported in other countries where the Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating in its effects (such as Spain and Italy), as well as in countries where the pandemic is becoming a growing public health problem. This is particularly relevant in regions with fewer resources (Latin America, North Africa), where there are limited means and the response from the health system is usually insufficient. Moreover, it is necessary to study these negative effects longitudinally considering that some effects will appear over time (post-traumatic stress). Accordingly, this prospective (0, 3, 6 and 12 months), multisite cohort study aims to describe, examine, and evaluate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health and social factors among workers at health services from Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and neighboring countries, the Middle East and North Africa, as well as Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Additionally, a team from the United States of America will also participate in this collaborative effort providing expertise on psychiatric epidemiology and supporting coordination across countries.

2 Coronavirus Outcomes Registries in Immunocompromised Individuals Australia (CORIA): a Multisite Registry and Optional Biorepository in People With COVID-19 and Selected Conditions Affecting Immune Function

CORIA is an observational cohort study of immunosuppressed populations who test positive for COVID-19. This includes people living with HIV, cancer, acquired immunodeficiency associated with other immunosuppressive therapy, primary immunodeficiency and recipients of a solid organ transplant. Participants will have routine clinical data collected with optional baseline collection and storage of a blood sample for storage . The study will be conducted in up to 30 sites within Australia.

3 PSYCHIatric Disorders and Covid-19 (PSYCHIC) : Observatory of the Psychiatric, Somatic and Pharmacological Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Patients Hospitalized for Psychiatric Disorders and Suspected to be Infected by COVID-19

Given the possible risks and complications of a comorbidity between psychiatric disorder and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it seems particularly important to specify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with psychiatric disorders and suspected of infection, hospitalized in a specific unit, at the psychiatric, somatic and pharmacological level.

4 Cohort of Patients With Covid-19 Presenting Neurological or Psychiatric Disorders: An Observational Study of the Covid-19 Neurological and Psychiatric Manifestations

Covid-19 pandemic now affects more than two million people worldwide. The neurotropism of the virus is assumed by its frequent association with neurological symptoms (anosmia, ageusia, headaches) but the extent of the central or peripheral nervous system involvement and the associated symptomatology remain poorly known for now. The main objective of this study is to describe the neurological and psychiatric manifestations occurring in the context of Covid-19 infection in patients hospitalized or followed-up in the APHP.SU hospital group. A better understanding of the neuropsychiatric impairment related to Covid-19 would improve the management of these patients in the acute phase, and knowledge of subsequent complications would allow adapting their rehabilitation and follow-up. The precise phenomenological description of these manifestations and the imaging, biology and neuropathology data will be compiled from the data collected by the physicians in charge of these patients as part of their inpatient or outpatient care. This study will also allow collecting unusual clinical manifestations from patients followed for neurological or psychiatric pathology in hospital departments and presenting a Covid-19 infection, in order to optimize the reorganization of their management, follow-up and rehabilitation in the epidemic context.

5 The Professional Peer Resilience Initiative: Leveraging a Data-Driven Model to Maximize the Resilience of Healthcare Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Professional Peer Resilience Initiative (PPRI) study is an observational study aimed at understanding how symptoms of traumatic stress and resilience evolve over time in the University of Minnesota (UMN) healthcare workforce during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The study is being conducted concurrently with a UMN peer support program called the MinnRAP program and will remotely administer quality of life and mental health surveys to healthcare workers before they start the MinnRAP program and throughout their participation in the program.

6 Diagnostic Value of Patient - Reported and Clinically Verified Olfactory Disorders in a Population Tested for COVID-19

Participants are healthcare workers and adult outpatients referred in a COVID-19 screening center. Patients-reported symptoms are collected, then participants underwent a simple olfactory test (CODA for Clinical Olfactory Dysfunction Assessment), prior to swabbing for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis (RT-PCR). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of smell and taste disorders, and to calculate the diagnostic value of patient-reported and clinically verified smell disorders in persons with suspected COVID-19.

7 Clinical Evolution and Parenting in Children and Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Quarantined Because of Covid-19 Outbreak

In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) outbreak, the home confinement of the population ordered by governments in many countries raise questions about its impact on individuals' physical and mental health in the short and longer term. In children, reduced physical activity, changes in lifestyle, disturbances in sleep patterns, lack of in-person contact with peers, poor or inadequate understanding of health risks may be risk factors of anxiety, stress, fatigue, sleep disorders (Brooks et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2020; Sprang et al, 2013). These problematic effects could be modulated by social factors (housing in urban or rural areas, availability of personal space at home, parenting stress, etc.) (Cluver et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2020).
