MAVIPAN: My Life and the COVID-19 Pandemic

Recruiting

• Conditions: Psychosocial Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic

• Registration Number: NCT04575571
• Lead Sponsor: Laval University

Brief Summary

The health crisis imposed by COVID-19 is forcing major worldwide social reorganization that will have profound consequences on our society. Currently, one-third of the world's population (\~3 billion individuals) is living under some kind of isolation or quarantine measures, causing an unprecedented and rapidly evolving psychosocial crisis.

The psychosocial consequences of this health crisis will persist long after restriction measures are lifted and the pandemic is over. This impact will be significant for individuals facing unique contexts or challenges (e.g., older adults, individuals living with a disability, underprivileged families) and will most likely exacerbate existing social and gender inequalities in health and human development.

There is an urgent need for information on the evolution of the psychosocial dimensions of health and coping strategies used by our population and our health and social services structures. Thus, this study is designed to accelerate the availability of high-quality, real-time evidence within health and social services structures to address, support and minimize psychosocial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through constantly evolving research questions responsive to the course of the pandemic evolution, the rapid system transformations and adaptation of services, and knowledge users (KUs) needs, MAVIPAN aims to address, document, monitor, and evaluate the following:

1. Individuals and families' adjustments and mitigation strategies, especially for those considered vulnerable and in high-risk contexts.

2. Healthcare and social services workers and managers' adjustments and mitigation strategies.

3. The organization of service structures.

4. The social and economic response.

To achieve these objectives, we use a mixed methods study design that combines quantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews to deepen our understanding of elements such as the coping strategies used during the pandemic. A first measure was taken during lock-down as well as a follow-up at 3 months. Another follow-up will be made at 7 months. At least one per year follow-up will be made over the course of the study (5 years). Additional measures may be taken depending on the evolution of the pandemic and the sanitary measures put in place by the authorities.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Hostility subscale- Symptoms Checklist-90-Revised	7 months	Only the Hostility subscale that measures thoughts, feelings and actions characteristic of anger is used. Scores range from 6 to 24 and higher scores indicate higher level of hostility
Brief COPE	Baseline (measured during lockdown in March 2020)	We use a subset of questions taken from the Brief Cope which measures coping strategies.
