@DrSMarkham, a patient partner on our team, published an opinion piece in BMJ in response to our team’s latest publication titled “Comparison of mental health symptoms before and during the covid-19 pandemic: evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis of 134 cohorts.”

Great news! Our team, in collaboration with @mcgillu, @LDI_ILD, @McMasterU and @UofT , has published a living systematic review on COVID-19 mental health changes in @bmj_latest. The team analyzed data from 137 longitudinal studies that compared mental health outcomes before

and during the pandemic. This is by far the largest and most comprehensive study on COVID-19 mental health in the world. Read the paper in BMJ here: https://t.co/eJKlbXcFOb

How has the pandemic affected mental health? Researchers say the surprising answer is not much if you look at aggregate data and use longitudinal methods.

Dr Brett Thombs told us more about what he and his team have learned through the @DepressdP.

I am excited to share that @DepressdP has been awarded a 3-year grant to develop and test statistical methods for individual participant data meta-analysis in diagnostic test accuracy. Thank you @CIHR_IRSC!

[Brooke Levis @blevis_epi]

Thombs et al. discuss uncertainty about the evidence on routine depression screening in primary care. They suggest that rather than routine screening, clinicians should engage patients in discussions about their overall wellbeing, including mental health. https://t.co/aZKHkB0tjM

We initiated two living systematic reviews to support people to understand the mental health needs of specific individuals, communities and populations during COVID-19 and to identify feasibly deployed mental health services to meet those needs. More info: https://t.co/3TadfzKRj7
