Research paper evaluates the mental health impacts of the first COVID-19 wave on U.K. residents, revealing heightened psychological distress particularly among younger people, women, and minority groups.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaOct 23 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal Economic Inquiry, researchers evaluate the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 on the mental well-being of United Kingdom residents.
Understanding the extent of the pandemic's impact on socioeconomically diverse populations is critical for informing policy and mitigating its negative impacts. Previous research has concentrated on documenting the pandemic's population impact and inequities, with limited studies addressing the moderators driving the pandemic's consequences for mental health.
From April 2020 onward, UKHLS participants were asked to complete a monthly web-based survey on socio-demographic variables, GHQ-12, and subjective financial health . In addition, lagged SFH values were used in a separate model specification to investigate whether economic concerns in the previous pre-pandemic year predicted psychological health impacts during the initial COVID-19 wave.
Study findings Higher mental discomfort was observed among U.K. residents during the first COVID-19 wave, with more severe impacts reported among younger individuals, females, migrants, and those from the Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic group, which aligns with previous studies. Furthermore, lonely people, those with financial problems, and people living in congested places had much lower mental health.
Meanwhile, the transition from occasional to frequent loneliness reflected a higher rise than the mean population impact of 1.8 to 2.7 compared to 0.9. Each additional individual in a bedroom reduced the COVID-19 mental health effect by almost 50%.
