“…This study used data collected as part of Wave 6 of the COVID-19 Psychological Research Consortium (C19PRC) Study [19], which was established in March 2020 to assess the longterm psychological, social, and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the UK population [20]. Briefly, at baseline (Wave 1, 23-28 March 2020), 2,025 adults were recruited via the survey company Qualtrics, using stratified quota sampling methods to ensure that the sample characteristics of age, gender and household income were representative of the UK adult population [21].…”

Objectives This study examined the association between perceived manageability of debt and risk of depression, anxiety, and mental health help-seeking among a nationally representative sample of adults living in the United Kingdom (UK). Methods Data was derived from the COVID-19 Psychological Research Consortium (C19PRC) Study Wave 6 (August/September 2021) which examined the psychological, social, and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the UK adult population. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the association between different levels of perceived debt manageability (i.e., “easily manageable”, “some problems”, “quite serious problems”, “very serious problems”, “cannot manage at all”) and mental health related outcomes. Results Almost a quarter of the sample (24%, n = 494) reported debt management problems, and debt manageability associated with higher levels of anxiety, depression, and mental health help-seeking. After adjusting for demographic variables (e.g. income, receipt of benefits), logistic regression analysis demonstrated a dose-response association between increasing levels of debt manageability problems and mental health outcomes. Specifically, adjusted odds ratios for anxiety ranged from 2.28 (‘some problems’) to 11.18 (‘very serious problems’), for depression ranged from 2.80 (‘some problems’) to 16.21 (‘cannot manage at all’), and for mental health help-seeking ranged from 1.69 (‘some problems’) to 3.18 (‘quite serious problems’, ‘very serious problems’). Conclusion This study highlights that debt manageability problems represent a robust predictor of depression, anxiety, and mental-health help seeking.

“…To conclude, our Consortium has carefully considered and debated the potential impact of the pandemic on our efforts to collect high‐quality, longitudinal data from a large sample of the UK adult general population (as well as ‘sister’ studies in other European countries) using non‐probability based sampling methods in detailed methodological reports from each wave of the C19PRC Study (McBride et al., 2022 ; McBride et al., 2022 ). As per best practice (Besançon et al., 2021 ), we have been strongly committed to Open Science principles from the outset.…”

“…To date, the company has completed ∼15,000 projects across ∼2500 universities worldwide. Our Consortium has described in detail the quota‐based sampling strategy for the recruitment of the C19PRC Study baseline panel (McBride et al., 2021 ), as well as the replenishment of the panel during post‐baseline waves (McBride et al., 2022 ; McBride et al., 2021 ), via Qualtrics' traditional, actively managed, double‐opt‐in market research panels, which are used for corporate and academic market research only. We have also debated the strengths and limitations of the non‐probability sampling strategies we adopted to achieve the internet‐based, nationally representative C19PRC Study panel during an unprecedented time for survey fieldwork (McBride et al., 2021 ).…”

“…Our Consortium's ability to retain a sizeable proportion of the study's baseline sample over multiple waves, coupled with sample replenishment procedures at post‐baseline waves and targeted over‐sampling in the devolved UK nations, ensures that the C19PRC Study is well‐positioned to be an authoritative data source from which a public mental health evidence base on the pandemic can be produced (McBride et al., 2022 ).…”

Objectives: Established in March 2020, the C19PRC Study monitors the psychological and socio-economic impact of the pandemic in the UK and other countries. This paper describes the protocol for Wave 6 (August-September 2021). Methods:The survey assessed: COVID-19 related experiences; experiences of common mental health disorders; psychological characteristics; and social and political attitudes. Adult participants from any previous wave (N = 3170) were reinvited, and sample replenishment procedures helped manage attrition. Weights were calculated using a survey raking algorithm to ensure the on-going original panel (from baseline) was nationally representative in terms of gender, age, and household income, amongst other factors.Results: 1643 adults were re-interviewed at Wave 6 (51.8% retention rate). Nonparticipation was higher younger adults, those born outside UK, and adults living in cities. Of the adults recruited at baseline, 54.3% (N = 1100) participated in Wave 6. New respondent (N = 415) entered the panel at this wave, resulting in crosssectional sample for Wave 6 of 2058 adults. The raking procedure re-balanced the longitudinal panel to within 1.3% of population estimates for selected sociodemographic characteristics. Conclusions: This paper outlines the growing strength of the publicly available C19PRC Study data for COVID-19-related interdisciplinary research.

The first wave of longitudinal survey data was collected by Qualtrics in March 2020 (during the first national lockdown in the United Kingdom) and consisted of 2,025 respondents using quota sampling benchmarked to the UK Census in terms of gender, age, and household income parameters.…”

Following the 2016 EU referendum on Britain's membership in the European Union, many people described themselves as “Leavers” or “Remainers.” Here, we examine the emotional responses associated with Brexit identities using survey data collected from two nationally representative samples of the British public in 2019 (N = 638) and 2021 (N = 2,058). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that many in both samples had coherent Leave or Remain identities. Remain and, to a lesser extent, Leave identities (regardless of how people actually voted in the referendum) predicted distress about Brexit‐related events and clinical symptoms of depression and anxiety at both time points. Structural equation models suggested that the effect of identities on symptoms was largely mediated by distress about Brexit‐related events. We demonstrate a lasting impact of Brexit on the mental health of UK citizens and show that the formation of novel political identities has been more important in this process than voting behavior.
