1 The Mental Health Status of the General Population During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Association With Adherence to Government-initiated Non-pharmacological Epidemiological Interventions (NPI's)

This study seeks to investigate the levels of common psychopathology symptoms (i.e., depression and generalized anxiety) in a general population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also seeks to examine the predictors of generalized anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as predictors of adherence rates to government-initiated non-pharmacological epidemiological interventions (NPI's). The aim of the project is to: - Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures. - Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect the general public against possibly increased psychological stressors, suffering and dysfunction during society's handling of the pandemic. - Help policymakers better understand the associations of demographic variables and psychological symptoms with adherence, providing an initial understanding of adherence rates, which may be used to help society fight against the COVID-19-virus from an epidemiological perspective by promoting factors that increase adherence.

NCT04356365 Depression Generalized Anxiety Adherence to Non-pharmacological Epidemiological Interventions (NPIs) Other: Cross-sectional study investigating the association of NPIs with mental health
MeSH:Depression

Primary Outcomes

Description: The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9; Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001) is used to measure symptoms of depression in accordance with the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. The questionnaire consists of nine items where each is scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the range of scores from 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity, and scores above 10 are considered as the cut-off that indicating that the patient is within the depressive area.

Measure: Patient Health Questionnaire 9

Time: All data was collected between March 31st 2020 and April 7th 2020, a period where the NPIs (non-pharmacological interventions) against the COVID-19 pandemic were identical and constant in Norway

Description: The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7; Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams & Löwe, 2006) is a questionnaire consisting of seven items measuring symptoms of anxiety and worry. The items are scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the scores ranging from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety severity, and scores that are above the cut-off of 10 are considered to be in the clinical range (Spitzer et al., 2006). Specific cut-off for Norwegian samples have been found yielding a cut-off of 8 and above for high sensitivity and specificity (Johnson, Ulvenes, Øktedalen & Hoffart, 2019).

Measure: Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7

Time: All data was collected between March 31st 2020 and April 7th 2020, a period where the NPIs (non-pharmacological interventions) against the COVID-19 pandemic were identical and constant in Norway

Description: Measures of adherence to all eight non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) employed against COVID-19 is measured, with each item being on a five-point Likert scale (0-4).

Measure: Measures of adherence

Time: All data was collected between March 31st 2020 and April 7th 2020, a period where the NPIs (non-pharmacological interventions) against the COVID-19 pandemic were identical and constant in Norway
