@alsouqi8 Hi Sara! Great presentation :) What kinds of questions are you asking, and are they comparable to similar studies? What results are you anticipating?

[Cathryn Beck @CatBeck]

EDIT: sample size (23) ** :)

[Cathryn Beck @CatBeck]

Feel inundated w/ #emails since #COVID19? Us too! But those w/ #reading disorders may face more adverse #mentalhealth outcomes from the resulting isolation & dependency on email. We wanted to find out - thanks for your interest too! #2020CSDResearchDay @CSDResearchDay #reading

3/6 Our limited sample size (26) included 7 ppl w/ a KNOWN #reading disorder. Those ppl were overall less educated & disclosed worse employment outcomes resulting from #COVID19. BUT, others may have undiagnosed reading problems - a likelihood. #2020CSDResearchDay @CSDResearchDay

@eskim8 @CSDResearchDay Thank you! :)

[Cathryn Beck @CatBeck]

@eskim8 @CSDResearchDay We do this this is highly likely! It's quite possible that people did not have a diagnosis, but regardless have struggled. We anticipate this is the case given who we sent the survey to!

@kulcheema @CSDResearchDay Thank you! :)

[Cathryn Beck @CatBeck]

@Ivy_MyHan_900 @CSDResearchDay Thank you! :) Some estimates are as high as 1 in 6 adults! :o!

@LearningCarlee @CSDResearchDay Great question! I imagine everyone has been impacted by loneliness during COVID. This is why a larger study with a more sensitive question is needed to *really* determine if loneliness is more greatly impacted for those with reading disorders vs. those without.

[Cathryn Beck @CatBeck]

@Ivy_MyHan_900 @CSDResearchDay Excellent question! This is based on the mainstream ideal that text for the public should aim for a grade level of 8 or lower.

[Cathryn Beck @CatBeck]

6/6 Larger studies are needed esp. b/c the pandemic is ongoing. Increased video meeting use may mitigate loneliness for those w/ #reading disorders. We need 2 know more! Thanks to my supervisors & colleagues, & 2 you for following #2020CSDResearchDay @CSDResearchDay #mentalhealth

[Cathryn Beck @CatBeck]

5/6 Most participants WANTED therapy: #mentalhealth is therefore a known challenge. We found that people have exercised less, which may contribute to poorer mental health. Increased #socialmedia use observed may be driven by loneliness. #2020CSDResearchDay @CSDResearchDay
