These scales are generally used to diagnose or assess the severity of a disease and are carried out at the request of a physician by the patient. Conversational agents could make it possible to administer these questionnaires remotely, analyse them and use the results on a large scale, without prior medical intervention. The main objective of this study is to quantify and qualify the distress of a large population in times of pandemic crisis.
The Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia makes several changes in daily living. The Indonesian government suggests that everyone should stay at home by implements the work from home and school from home. Therefore, the issues related with Covid-19 are also worrying such as death because of the infection, virus transmission, doing everything from home such as Friday praying for Moslem, Sunday service at home, etc. People is anxious whenever meeting people because they are not really understand whether people is infected or not. Therefore, this study tries to identify the impact of Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia towards mental well-being of the community.

The caregivers are facing several issues and are daily exposed to an intensification of the work. Assessing the stress and the well-being of the caregivers is very important in this context.
Description: stress level of caregivers managing patients with coronavirus infection needing airway support or resuscitation. The level of stress will be quantified with the Maslach burnout Inventory.
Measure: Stress in a recovery room transformed into an intensive care unit versus a conventional intensive care unit Time: A 3 months period from the starting of the pandemicThe COVID-19 pandemic is profoundly changing the way people live and work. After the health impact, it is the mental and psychological impact that reaches varying degrees in the entire world population. The previous Asian epidemics have had a lasting impact on the health professionals concerned. In France, no study has yet assessed the psychological impact of this health crisis on the level of health professionals. Investigators propose to study prospectively the evolution of the state of stress and anxiety of all the professionals practicing within the gynecology-obstetrics departments of 18 French hospitals. Investigators also hypothesize that the mental repercussions in terms of stress and anxiety within the same service could be different depending on the professional status and the place of exercise (the French regions being impacted in different ways). In addition to the epidemiological interest, the results of this study may help us to target regions and professionals who will need psychological support during and after this serious health crisis.
Description: Stress state score, during the confinement period, established by a comparison VAS (visual analogue scale) compared to a period outside COVID-19 (from -5: considerable degradation to +5: considerable improvement, with 0: no change)
Measure: Stress state score, during the confinement period Time: About 10 minutes ( Questionnaire filling time)Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused a pandemic infection called COVID-19. It is a global threat to people, communities, and health systems. Researchers are concerned about the mental health effects of the pandemic. They want to learn more about how it is affecting people s alcohol use and problems, and how it may continue to affect them over time. Objective: To study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol use and consequences in individuals across the spectrum of alcohol use and those with alcohol use disorder. Eligibility: Participants who have been screened under the NIAAA Screening, Assessment and Management Protocol (14-AA-0181) Design: Participants will complete a baseline survey by phone. It will ask about alcohol use, alcohol dependence, and stress. It covers 2 time periods: the 12 months before the pandemic started and the time since it started. Participants will get an ID code and a link to an online survey. They will complete the online survey within a week of the phone survey. Participants will complete a series of online surveys over 24 months. For the first year, surveys will be completed weekly for the first 4 weeks, then biweekly for the next 8 weeks, and then every 1-2 months for the rest of the year. For the second year, surveys will be completed every 6 months. Surveys will cover the following topics: - Alcohol use and its consequences - Other substance use - Stress - Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - Pain - Physical health - Sleep - Quality of life. Because the course of the pandemic may change, the frequency of the surveys may change. Participation lasts 2 years.

Measure: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Score Time: 24 monthsThe Faculty of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Granada (UGR) has been leading the lists of the best faculties in this area in Spain and abroad for years. This has largely defined the profile of its students as high performing and, therefore, more prone to display maladaptive perfectionism which can lead to psychological distress (Rice et al 2006). However psychological distress is not something that only affects high profile students. Several studies report overall greater stress levels among undergraduate students when compared to general population levels (Ramasubramanian 2017). In fact, it is estimated that nearly 40 percent of university students experience mild to severe depressive symptoms with over 50 percent of students predicted to experience some level of depressive symptomatology during their college years (Pogrebtsova et al 2018: 46). Coping with cognitive and emotional challenges is therefore a desirable aim for every student on a daily bases. It is within this framework that CRAFTftiugr was born, a teaching innovation project, which is the result of the interaction among experts in mindfulness, lecturers and researchers in Translation and Interpreting and Experimental Psychology, students, Administrative and Support Staff and social stakeholders in the context of Higher Education. The main objective of the study is to test whether participating in a course on mindfulness-based techniques can improve students' cognitive, emotional and personal traits as well as academic performance. Together with this main purpose, the present study also aims to compare the effects of two mindfulness based programs, MBSR and CRAFT, on the students' ability to improve specific aspects of cognition, emotional intelligence, creativity or academic performance among others. Both mindfulness-based programs involve training sustained attention and an accepting and open attitude though they differ in several aspects of their methods, intention and aims. Drawing conclusions from the outcomes, a curriculum applied to Translation and Interpreting Studies will be designed aimed at preventing the development of psychological stress, perfectionism and other anxiety disorders, maximizing comfort in the Higher Education context and, ultimately, improving academic achievement.

However, during times of persistent high levels of stress, many individuals experience depletion in psychological resources, suffering intense distress that can make daily occupational and interpersonal functioning difficult. In order to assist with this immense challenge, this research team has developed a brief daily intervention based on decades of stress and trauma research that may help to support psychological health in individuals on the frontlines who are most essential to society. Considerable evidence supports the role of attention to and conceptualization of emotional experience in psychological resilience. This project tests a highly innovative combination of interventions targeting these processes in a brief, daily activity. The primary project aim is to investigate the Daily Coping Toolkit for medical personnel and first responders to determine efficacy over time, to test relative dosing, and to explicate the underlying therapeutic processes. The toolkit consists of 3 activities, administered one time each day, taking minutes to complete and will be administered to n=1000 personnel. Data analysis will test the impact of the toolkit on momentary affective processes and on symptoms and wellbeing over 9 months. The impact of this research will be evidence to support the further use of this novel tool to assist essential front-line personnel during this ongoing crisis helping to mitigate the psychological toll and also support occupational functioning now and in the future.

Measure: Reduced access to medical and psychological help Time: 10 minutesMindfulness training has been gaining popularity in the past decade as a means of improving general well-being. This trend appears in response to the new stressors that have arisen with the increased stress of the 21st century. Studies have shown that the psychological state of metacognitive awareness encapsulated in mindfulness can promote the decreasing of stress as well as the secondary effect of improving sleep quality; both outcome measures of this study. While the body of research evaluating these benefits is growing, there is limited emphasis placed on the individual differences that can affect the overall efficacy of mindfulness training. Our aim in this study is to observe the effects of mindfulness training on perceived stress levels as well as on sleep using subjective measures in a large sample of trainees. To achieve this, participants will be recruited from a pool of people who have signed up for a 4-week foundational mindfulness or 8-week mindfulness based stress reduction course at Brahm Centre. Questionnaires will be administered both before and after these courses to evaluate both stress levels and sleep habits as well as other factors which could contribute to the efficacy of mindfulness training. These inventories will probe the different facets of interpersonal differences that could serve to influence the effectiveness of the mindfulness intervention. In addition, the investigators will also test the effect of conducting the course online during a situation of emergency, like it is the partial lockdown that was implemented in Singapore due to the spread of Covid-19. The proposed study has the potential to provide new insights into the factors that affect the efficacy of mindfulness on stress and sleep, in a situation of non-emergency (until February the 6th 2020) as well as during a period of heightened restrictions (DORSCON Orange, from 7th of February to 6th of April 2020) and a partial lockdown (from 7th of April to 1st of June 2020, or until resume of normal activity). Further, the investigators hope to build an algorithm that can predict the potential effectiveness of mindfulness on a person by person basis. This could serve as a foundation for future recommendations for mindfulness training as well as open the door for future studies that could serve to further customize the mindfulness training framework to accommodate individual differences
Description: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Score (PSQI) is a 19-item self-rated questionnaire for evaluating subjective sleep quality over the previous month. The PSQI has a sensitivity of 89.6% and specificity of 86.5% for identifying cases with sleep disorder, using a cut-off score of 5. The first 4 items are open questions, whereas items 5 to 19 are rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Individual items scores yield 7 components. A total score, ranging from 0 to 21, is obtained by adding the 7 component scores. A score above 5 suggests poor sleep quality. A decrease in PSQI score following intervention would reflect and improvement of sleep quality
Measure: Change in Subjective measures of Sleep quality: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total Score Time: Up to one monthDescription: The PSS measures whether different aspects of life were perceived as stressful by participants on a 5-point scale (where 0 was never and 4 was very often) in the past month. Positively worded questions are reversed scored and all 10 questions ratings are summarised into a total score, which ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating more perceived stress.
Measure: Change in subjective measures of Stress: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Time: Up to one monthDescription: Measured within the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. This is the total perceived time in bed in minutes, calculated as item 3 of the PSQI ("When have you usually gotten up in the morning?") minus item 1 ("When have you usually gone to bed?")
Measure: Change in Subjective Time in Bed (TIB) Time: Up to one monthDescription: Measured within the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. Total sleep time reflects the amount of time in minutes participants were effectively sleeping while in bed, without periods of wakefulness, on average over the past month. This will be measured by item 4 of the PSQI questionnaires: "How many hours of actual sleep do you get at night?".
Measure: Change in Subjective Total Sleep Time (TST) Time: Up to one monthDescription: Measured within the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. This is the perceived time, in minutes, that takes participants to fall asleep from the moment they go to bed. This corresponds to item 2 of the PSQI: "How long (in minutes) has it taken you to fall asleep each night?"
Measure: Change in Subjective Sleep Onset Latency (SOL) Time: Up to one monthDescription: Measured within the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. In addition to Sleep Onset Latency (Secondary outcome 1), a second subjective measure of sleep quality is extracted from the PSQI: time of perceived wakefulness occurring after defined sleep onset. WASO is calculated by taking into account the total time spent in bed (TST) minus total sleep time (TST) and minus sleep onset latency (SOL), in minutes. High WASO scores reflect low sleep continuity and poor sleep quality.
Measure: Change in Subjective Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) Time: Up to one monthThe aim of the study is to explore the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic among Hungarian adults with the use of an anonymous online questionnaire that consists of 65 items.

Measure: level of depression Time: 5 monthsThis study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the four-week Healthy Minds Program (HMP) app Foundations training in employees of a mid-size urban school district in the United States during the summer of 2020, in the midst of the novel coronavirus pandemic. A 3-month follow-up in the fall of 2020 will also be conducted. Participants will be recruited via email and mailed postcards, and will first complete an online screen. Eligible participants will then enter a waiting zone for between 2-days and 2-weeks before they are sent the online pre-test. Upon completion of the pre-test, participants will be assigned to condition via a simple random number generator. If assigned to the intervention (i.e., the Healthy Minds Program App), participants will receive instructions and support in downloading and activating the app. Every 7-days over the 4-week intervention period participants in both conditions will complete the same set of measures. A full battery of measures will be administered a second time post-test, following the 4-week intervention period. Three-months after post-test, a follow-up assessment will be conducted. The investigators predict that participants assigned to the intervention will demonstrate significantly reduced psychological distress after the intervention, and these decreases will persist at the 3-month follow-up. Further, it is hypothesized that baseline participant characteristics and early experience of the intervention will predict treatment adherence, study drop-out and outcomes, and that treatment engagement will moderate outcomes.

The purpose of the study is to first, assess the effects of the pandemic on burnout, team cohesion, and resiliency among healthcare providers battling COVID-19 together in a medical ICU (MICU). Secondly, the investigators hope to then assess the effects of simple positive feedback on transforming culture and attitudes during times of major stress.
Description: The SAQ measures teamwork climate, safety climate, job satisfaction, stress recognition, perceptions of management, and working conditions. The six items assessing teamwork climate will be used. 5 point likert scale is used. Mean of the items - 1 * 25 will convert each participant's results to a 100 point scale (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 points).
Measure: Teamwork climate, as measured by selected items from the validated Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) Time: 4 weeksDescription: The BRS is comprised of 6 items on a likert scale.

Measure: Burnout, as validated by the single-item burnout scale inventory Time: 4 weeksPatients with COVID-19 associated ARDS and mechanical ventilation have a high mortality. Part of the disease is an activation of the coagulation system which seems to contribute to clotformation in the pulmonary bloodstream. Recently we implemented an algorithm applying higher doses of heparins (LMWH). However, this approach could not inhibit clotformation enough. Bivalirudin could prevent clotformation better and support dissolving existing clots. Therefore, we want to compare 50 patients with the standard treatment with 50 patients under bivalirudin treatment which we normally apply in patients with a HIT-syndrome. Our primary outcome measure is oxygenation reflected as P/F ratio.
Description: the P/F ratio is a surrogate parameter for oxygenation in ARDS.
Measure: P/F ratio Time: three days of interventionDescription: The kidney function frequently is deteriorated in COVID-19 patients
Measure: Kidney function Time: three days of interventionAs a result of the pandemic, hygiene and distancing rules must be followed in Health care/ rehabilitation clinics to ensure the safety of patients and staff. This has led to extensive changes in the therapy processes, including a reduction in group sizes and maintaining distances within the groups, resulting in a reduction in the range of therapies available to individuals, since the number of employees remains unchanged and cannot be increased at will and in the short term due to the lack of qualified staff. In order for the treatment/rehabilitation goals to be achieved nonetheless, new forms of implementation of therapy programs must be developed in addition to organizational adjustments. Digitalization can be a significant support in this respect. The majority of patients in psychosomatic rehabilitation/parkinson treatment possess smartphones, meaning that the necessary infrastructure for the utilization of digital offers is available and can be used to the greatest possible extent. The use of digital measures within the therapeutic services supports the independence of the patients, as they can use the digital offers independently and flexibly in their own time. How should Health care/rehabilitation services be designed in light of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and which services have the potential to buffer future crises: What general recommendations can be derived for the design of such services for routine care?

Once a pre-survey is conducted, login information will be assigned to 30 Family Child Care Home providers and parents the FCCH serve. Providers and Parents will receive self-care and parenting/parent engagement support through the app and through a tele-wellness service, Ask a Nurse, provided by community health nurses at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. Children will have access to gamified learning materials in early literacy, math, social-emotional learning, and nutrition.
Description: Family Child Care Home Providers & Parents: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)-10 is a 10-item tool widely used to measure the degree to which circumstances in one's life are deemed as stressful in the general population. The PSS was designed for use in community samples with at least a junior high school education. The items are easy to understand, and the response alternatives are simple to grasp. Six items of the PSS-10 are negatively phrased (item 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10; negative perception subscale, while the remaining four (item 4, 5, 7 and 8; positive perception subscale) are positively phrased items and require reverse coding. Total PSS-10 score will be calculated by summing scores. A total score ranges 0-40 where a higher score indicates higher perceived stress.
Measure: Change in Perceived Level of Stress as assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale Time: At pre and post surveys lasting 30-45 minutes each, up to 15 weeks apartDescription: Family Child Care Home Providers & Parents: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Informational Support Short Form 8a assesses the perceived availability of helpful information or advice. It is an 8-item tool and each item has 5 response options ranging in values from one to five-1=Never 2=Rarely 3=Sometimes 4=Usually 5=Always with a range of 8-40. Total raw scores, sum of values to responses, will be calculated. A Score conversion table found in the Appendix of the tool will be used to translate the total raw score or pro-rated score into a T-score for each participant.

Measure: Resilience building and planning Time: 3 MonthsEvidence suggests that social isolation affects mental health by increasing symptoms of anxiety and depression. One of the main components of the current COVID-19 pandemic is the social isolation imposed on the population. This study seeks to assess the impact of the physical and social living conditions of the pandemic in a cohort of urban immigrants in Chile (i.e. STRING) evaluated six months prior to the pandemic. Specific aims are to 1. Describe the variations in the levels of mental health of immigrants during and after the pandemic, 2. Calculate the effect of social isolation on the levels of mental health of the immigrant population, and 3. Identify risk / protective factors associated with increased mental health problems An online survey will be applied to the STRING cohort at two moments of the pandemic (i.e. during quarantines and after six months).
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 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. Specific cut-off for primary care samples in Chile have been found yielding a cut-off of 7 and above for high sensitivity and specificity (Saldivia, Aslan, Cova, Vicente, Inostroza & Rincón, 2019)

Healthcare workers play an essential role and are one of the most exposed groups.Information about the psychosocial impact on healthcare workers is limited. Methods. 3109 healthcare workers completed a national, internet-based, cross-sectional 45-item survey between 9 and 19 April 2020. The objective is to assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spanish healthcare workers. A Psychological Stress and Adaptation at work Score (PSAS) was defined combining four modified versions of validated psychological assessment tests (A) Healthcare Stressful Test, (B) Coping Strategies Inventory,(C) Font-Roja Questionnaire and (D) Trait Meta-Mood Scale.
Description: evaluate the severity of psychological impact of the pandemic in Spain in healthcare workers
Measure: PSAS (Psychological Stress and Adaptation at work Score) during the crisis Time: during the pandemic (April 9, 2020 to April 19, 2020)Description: evaluate the psychological stress in Spain in healthcare workers
Measure: PSAS (Psychological Stress and Adaptation at work Score) in basal conditions Time: After the pandemic (back to regular activity to be considered in the future as we do not know it yet. It expected to be in less than one year.Covid-19 is an additional stressor Black women have to deal with that may interfere with hypertension self-care management. Social connectedness is a source of resilience for Black women to promote mental and physical health. Unfortunately, in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, social distancing is a challenge further isolating Black women from their networks. How is social connectedness to manage stress and emotional well-being in a social-distancing society for Black women with hypertension? The research team proposed a synchronous web-based version of Enhanced Co-Created Health Education InterventioN (eCo-CHIN) that build the success and best practices derived from the original intervention. A Covid-19 session will be included as a way of helping Black women to maintain resilience and self-care during stressful times. The eCo-CHIN intervention is innovative and timely because the research team are using a synchronous platform preparing Black women on how to deal with Covid-19 while taking care of self. The primary investigator for this pilot study (Dr. Wright) is a Black Early Stage Investigator and former KL2 (career development) awardee. The interdisciplinary research team has the expertise and resources to deliver this Enhanced Co-CHIN intervention.

The NA scale consists of 14 items: restless or fidgety, nervous, worthless, so sad nothing could cheer you up, everything is an effort, hopeless, lonely, afraid, jittery, irritable, ashamed, upset, angry, and frustrated. The PA scale consists of 13 items: in good spirits, cheerful, extremely happy, calm and peaceful, satisfied, full of life, close to others, like you belong, enthusiastic, attentive, proud, active, and confident. Daily NA and PA are calculated by averaging the items within each subscale, and then aggregating scores across interview days.
Measure: Positive and Negative Affect Reactivity Scales Time: Weeks -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 9, 10, 11Description: The Daily Inventory of Stressful Events is used to assess whether each of 7 types of stressors occurred in the past 24 hours: argument, avoided an argument, stressor at work or school, stressor at home, discrimination, network stressor (i.e., stressful event that happened to a close friend or family member), and any other stressor. A day is categorized as a "stressor day" if the participant endorsed at least one stressor, or a "nonstressor day" if the participant indicated that no stressors occurred. Stressor frequency is defined as the percentage of interview days during which at least one stressor occurred. Salivary Cytokine Panels will be collected on two of these stressor and non stressor days respectively.

Measure: Adverse Event Patient Participant Self-Report Form Time: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24There is an immediate need for population-level intervention research to address the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its containment measures on mental health and substance use (MHSU). While online programs are available to address these issues, they are often delivered in an asynchronous format with relatively low therapist or health coaching guidance. As highlighted by a recent systematic review, positive outcomes for online mental health programs are tied to the intensity of therapist or coaching guidance, which increases cost and reduces population access to more effective online options. A way to offset cost while maintaining effectiveness is to offer MHSU programs to groups online, rather than individually. In 2019, the investigators launched an RCT to test gender-stratified group interventions to address MHSU among community-based Indigenous and non-Indigenous adults in southern Alberta. The investigators implemented the interventions with more than 200 adults before the study was paused due to COVID-19.
Description: Participants will be asked to self-report if tobacco use has changed during the pandemic via a 5-point likert. Options range from increased a lot to decreased a lot. If participants indicate their tobacco use has changed, they will be asked to identify the primary reason for this change. Changes in tobacco use will be re-assessed at each time point.

Measure: Changes in Alcohol Use Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Past year drug use will be assessed through the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT). Possible scores on the DUDIT range from 0 to 44; scores greater than 2 or 6 are indicative of risky or harmful drug habits for women and men, respectively. A score of 25 or more suggests the individual is probably heavily dependent on drugs. Participants will also be asked to identify which drugs they currently use, the main reasons for using drugs, and whether their drug use has changed during the pandemic. Changes in drug use will be re-assessed at each time point.
Measure: Changes in Drug Use Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Gambling will be assessed via the 9-item Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI).

Measure: Changes in Depression Symptoms Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: The 6-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) will be used to measure anxiety reflective of both adverse situations (state anxiety) and personality traits associated with higher levels of anxiety (trait anxiety). STAI-6 produces scores like its longer 20-item version, showing good reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.82) with sensitivity to differing degrees of anxiety. Possible scores range from 20 to 80; "normal scores" range from 34 to 36. Higher scores represent higher amount of anxiety.
Measure: Changes in Anxiety Symptoms Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Changes in eating behaviours will be assessed by questions asking if food consumption and unhealthy food consumption have changed since the onset of the pandemic via a 5-point likert scale (increased a lot to decreased a lot). If participants indicate they have changed their food consumption, a qualitative question will ask them to describe why they think their behaviour has changed.
Measure: Changes in Eating Behaviour Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Participants will be asked to rate how the quantity and quality of their sleep has changed since the pandemic started via 5-point likert scales (increased a lot to decreased a lot).
Measure: Changes in Sleeping Behaviour Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Physical activity will be assessed through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form. The questionnaire asks about frequency and duration of vigorous (VPA) and moderate physical activity (MPA) over the past 7 days. Weekly Metabolic Equivalents (MET) minutes will be calculated based on responses. Participants will be categorized into high (>1500 MET min/week with 3+ days of VPA or >3000 METmin/week with 7+ days of MVPA); medium (5+ days of 20+ minutes of VPA per day, 5+ days with 30+ minutes of MPA per day, or 5+ days of MVPA that achieves 600+ MET min/week); low (participant does not meet other cut points). Frequency and duration of walking and sitting time are also assessed. The IPAQ has good reliability and criterion validity. Participants will also be asked if their PA and sedentary behaviour levels have changed during the pandemic (5-point likert; options: increased a lot to decreased a lot).
Measure: Changes in Physical Activity Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: The 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10) is a widely used measure to assess self-perceived resilience. Evaluations of the CD-RISC 10 have shown good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.85), a strong positive association with the longer 25-item CD-RISC (r = 0.92). Scores range from 0 to 40; a higher score is indicative of higher resilience.
Measure: Changes in Resilience Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Self-esteem will be measured using the 10-item Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale. The scale is a widely used measure that correlates well with other measures of self-esteem and has strong internal consistency (0.92) and test-retest reliability (0.88). Scores range from 4 to 40; a higher score indicates higher self esteem. Participants will also be asked how their self-esteem has changed since the beginning of the pandemic.
Measure: Changes in Self-Esteem Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Loneliness will be evaluated using a shortened (3 item) version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale. This scale asks about feelings of companionship, being left out, and being isolated from others in the last month, with a 3-item list of answer options (hardly ever, some of the time, often). This scale has good reliability (r = 0.73), validity, and internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.84-0.94). The scale also showed convergent validity with other commonly used measures of loneliness. Scores range from 1 to 9; higher scores indicate higher levels of loneliness.
Measure: Changes in Loneliness Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: The Brief Dissociative Experiences Scale is an 8-item tool that assesses the severity of dissociative experiences in adults. The scale items are summed and averaged to describe the severity of dissociative experiences as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3), or extreme (4). The brief scale was found to be reliable, easy to use, and clinically useful in the DSM-5 Field Trials. Scores range from 0 to 32; a higher score indicates a greater severity of dissociative experiences.
Measure: Changes in Dissociative Experiences Time: Baseline, Mid-point (4-weeks), Post-intervention (8-weeks), 3-month Follow UpDescription: Coping strategies and perceived ability to cope during the pandemic will be assessed through four self-reported questions.

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.
