There is one clinical trial.
In times of pandemics, social distancing, isolation and quarantine exacerbate depression and anxiety as confined people are detached from their loved ones, deprived of personal liberties, and devoid of purpose owing to altered routine and livelihood (1,2). Those with pre-existing mental health problems or illnesses (MHPIs) might suffer from limiting interpersonal interactions that are central to their self-management, as well as reduced access to helpful but "non-essential" (often cancelled) psychiatric services (3). In response to this situation, this feasibility study of a trial consists of offering a transitional measure of online peer support for people suffering from (a) psychotic disorders or (b) anxiety and mood disorders, and to determine an effect size to this Peer Support Workers-delivered intervention in terms of both personal-civic recovery and clinical recovery (4). Peer Support Workers (PSWs) are persons with first-hand lived experience of MHPIs, and who are further along in their own recovery journey. As recommended by recovery-oriented best practices guidelines (5,6), upon training and certification they can provide supportive services when hired to fill such a paid specialty position directly in, or in conjunction with, current psychiatric services. Indeed, recovery focuses on how individuals can have more active control over their lives (agency). It is characterized by a search for the person's strengths and capacities, satisfying and meaningful social roles, and mobilizing formal and informal support systems. Peer support has thus become one predominant concept in the recovery paradigm and PSWs are specialized in peer support. Yet, not much is known about the efficacy of PSWs from a consumer's perspective of personal-civic recovery. The five principal research questions are whether this online intervention will have an impact in terms of (Q1) personal-civic recovery potential and (Q2) clinical recovery potential, (Q3) how these potentials can be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, (Q4) how the lived experience of people in recovery can be mobilized to cope with such a situation, and (Q5) how sex and gender considerations can be taken into account for the pairing of PSWs with service users, beyond considerations based solely on psychiatric diagnoses or specific MHPIs.
Description: Recovery Assesment Scale (RAS). This is a 24-item questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales (1-2-3-4-5). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of recovery. Minimum score = 24 : maximum score = 120.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : recovery (personal recovery) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Participating patients will fill out the Citizenship Measure (CM). This is a 23-item questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales (1-2-3-4-5). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of citizenship. Minimum score = 23 : maximum score = 115.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : citizenship (personal recovery) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Participating with 5-point Likert scales (0-1-2-3-4). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of COVID-related levels of stress. Minimum score = 0 : maximum score = 144.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : COVID-19 Stress Scales Time: 12 weeksDescription: Participating patients will fill out the Anxiety State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y6 (STAI-Y6). This is a 6-item questionnaire with 4-point Likert scales (1-2-3-4). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of anxiety. Minimum score = 6 : maximum score = 24.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : anxiety (clinical recovery) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Participating patients will fill out the Depression Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). This is a 9-item questionnaire with 4-point Likert scales (0-1-2-3). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of depression. Minimum score = 0 : maximum score = 27.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : depression (clinical recovery) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Participating patients will fill out the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-10). This is a 10-item questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales (0-1-2-3-4). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of alcohol dependence. Minimum score = 0 : maximum score = 40.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : alcohol dependence (clinical recovery) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Participating patients will fill out the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10). This is a 10-item questionnaire with noyes answers (0-1). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of drog dependence. Minimum score = 0 : maximum score = 10.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : drug dependence (clinical recovery) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Psychosis Screening Questionnaire (PSQ 12 items) with no-unsure-yes answers (1-2-3). Higher scores are positively correlated with higher levels of psychosis. Minimum score = 12 : maximum score = 36.
Measure: Assessment of patients' current status : psychosis (clinical recovery) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Participating patients will fill out the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0). This is a 12-item questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales (0-1-2-3-4). Lower scores are positively correlated with higher levels of social functioning. Minimum score = 0 : maximum score = 48.

Data processed on September 26, 2020.
An HTML report was created for each of the unique drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms associated with COVID-19 clinical trials. Each report contains a list of either the drug, the MeSH terms, or the HPO terms. All of the terms in a category are displayed on the left-hand side of the report to enable easy navigation, and the reports contain a list of correlated drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms. Further, all reports contain the details of the clinical trials in which the term is referenced. Every clinical trial report shows the mapped HPO and MeSH terms, which are also hyperlinked. Related HPO terms, with their associated genes, protein mutations, and SNPs are also referenced in the report.
