Issue Date: | 14-Aug-2020 | Date: | 2020-08-14 | Publication information: | Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) 2020; 69(32): 1049-1057 | Abstract: | Summary What is already known about this topic? Communities have faced mental health challenges related to COVID-19–associated morbidity, mortality, and mitigation activities. What is added by this report? During June 24–30, 2020, U.S. adults reported considerably elevated adverse mental health conditions associated with COVID-19. Younger adults, racial/ethnic minorities, essential workers, and unpaid adult caregivers reported having experienced disproportionately worse mental health outcomes, increased substance use, and elevated suicidal ideation. What are the implications for public health practice? The public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic should increase intervention and prevention efforts to address associated mental health conditions. Community-level efforts, including health communication strategies, should prioritize young adults, racial/ethnic minorities, essential workers, and unpaid adult caregivers. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/25200 | Journal: | Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) | URL: | https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | COVID-19 |
