“…We performed an online cross‐sectional study focused on recent life stressors, emotional distress, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors using Qualtrics Panels, an online survey platform that maintains a database of several million U.S. residents who have volunteered to participate in periodic survey‐based research. Because of their efficiency, online survey panels have been used with increased frequency to obtain general population samples for health‐related and social research (Cheng, 2015; DeVylder et al, 2018; Jensen et al, 2016; Johnson, Harkins, Cary, Sankar, & Karlawish, 2015; Tinghög et al, 2013). Qualtrics Panels uses quota sampling methods to identify participants meeting each study’s eligibility criteria, with a target to recruit a sample that was demographically similar to 2010 U.S. census distributions for age, sex, and race/ethnicity (±10%).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify leading sources of stress, describe rates of mental health outcomes, and examine their associations among U.S. adults during the first months of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Method In a cross‐sectional, general population survey conducted from March 18 to April 4, 2020, U.S. adults (n=10,625) were recruited through Qualtrics Panels using quota sampling methods. Results Life stressors, probable depression, past‐month suicide ideation, and past‐month suicide attempts were not elevated among participants subject to state‐level stay‐at‐home orders and/or large gatherings bans. Multiple life stressors were associated with increased rates of probable depression. Past‐month suicide ideation was significantly higher among participants reporting ongoing arguments with a partner and serious legal problems. Past‐month suicide attempt was significantly higher among participants reporting concerns about a life‐threatening illness or injury, but was significantly lower among participants reporting an unexpected bill or expense. Conclusions Results failed to support the conclusion that physical distancing measures are correlated with worse mental health outcomes. Concerns about life‐threatening illness or injury was uniquely associated with increased risk of suicide attempt.

“…For example, economically deprived neighbourhoods and those with large communities of colour are more likely to experience police killings (Feldman et al 2019), and African Americans, American Indians/ Alaskan Natives, and Latino men have a higher lifetime risk of being killed by police compared to non-Hispanic whites (Edwards et al 2019). As a result, the threats of over-policing and police violence are powerful potential chronic stressors (DeVylder et al 2018). Living in a stressful environment may contribute to allostatic load (the dysregulation of multiple physiologic systems, including the cardiovascular and inflammatory systems) which, in turn, increases the risk of multiple chronic conditions (Diez Roux and Mair 2010, Ribeiro et al 2018).…”

Preliminary evidence indicates that the experience of the novel coronavirus is not shared equally across geographic areas. Findings in the United States suggest that the burden of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality may be hardest felt in disadvantaged and racially segregated places. Deprived neighbourhoods are disproportionately populated by people of colour, the same populations that are becoming sicker and dying more often from COVID-19. This commentary examines how structurally vulnerable neighbourhoods contribute to racial/ethnic inequities in SARS-COV-2 exposure and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality and considers opportunities to intervene through place-based initiatives and the implementation of a Health in All Policies strategy.

“…Data were collected anonymously using Qualtrics Research Services, an online survey panel aggregator, which has been utilized in other peer-reviewed research studies. [28][29][30][31] Participants were recruited from 21 actively managed online research panels with more than 13.4 million registered panelists. Recruitment quotas were based on U.S. census data to reflect the age, sex, race, and ethnicity of the general U.S. population.…”

Background: The DSM-5 recognizes caffeine use disorder as a condition for further study, but there is a need to better understand its prevalence and clinical significance among the general population. Methods: A survey was conducted among an online sample of 1006 caffeine-consuming adults using demographic quotas to reflect the U.S. population. Caffeine consumption, DSM-proposed criteria for caffeine use disorder, sleep, substance use, and psychological distress were assessed. Results: Eight percent of the sample fulfilled DSM-proposed criteria for caffeine use disorder. These individuals consumed more caffeine, were younger, and were more likely to be cigarette smokers. Fulfilling caffeine use disorder criteria was associated with caffeine-related functional impairment, poorer sleep, some substance use, as well as greater depression, anxiety, and stress. Conclusions: The prevalence of caffeine use disorder among the present sample suggests that the proposed diagnostic criteria would identify only a modest percentage of the general population, and that identified individuals experience significant caffeine-related distress.
