Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study used data from admissions to the non-comprehensive Stroke Unit, which receives patients ineligible for revascularization therapy at Herlev-Gentofte hospital, in 2019 and 2020.

Racialized exposure to multiple COVID-19 deaths and their consequences for mental health.

COVID-19 unleashed a bereavement crisis on a scale unseen in over a century. While evidence suggests COVID-19 deaths are acutely damaging to well-being, it is unclear how multiple losses affect mental health, whether there are ethnoracial differences in cumulative loss, or if the association between multiple COVID-related deaths and psychological distress varies by race-ethnicity. Using national survey data (n = 1810) collected following the Omicron surge in the United States, we estimate a series of regression models to assess the association between multiple COVID-19 losses and psychological distress, racial-ethnic differences in aggregate death exposure, and differential vulnerability to multiple losses across racial-ethnic groups.

The present study examined responses to COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic, April 2020, among a representative sample of 880 Poles. Participants described their religious beliefs, their emotional reactions to the pandemic, the changes they had made in their behavior since the onset of the pandemic, and their political orientation (left-right). Roman Catholics felt more threatened by the pandemic than non-believers, and Catholics reacted more strongly to the pandemic than non-believers in terms of feeling scared, paralyzed by fear, panicked, fearful, sad, woebegone, and lost, whereas there were no such differences on other emotional reactions.

Background: American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities experienced a disproportionate increase in opioid-related fatal and non-fatal poisonings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to treatment, such as medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), became even more critical, although research among this population is limited. We completed qualitative interviews with substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers (i.
