Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and limitations: Strengths of our study include the large number of institutions included and their spread over the most affected regions of Spain; the use of the institutional mailing lists as the sampling framework, which provided specific and reliable listing of healthcare workers; data representative of a large number of healthcare workers; and the higher validity of screening of symptoms with severe interference to identify disabling mental disorders. These strengths support the robustness and relevance of our results. Nevertheless, the study has some limitations that deserve careful consideration. First, we had a low response rate. Despite important advantages of institutional email listings, these email accounts seem not to be checked by a large majority of employees and their utilization might differ by professional category. In fact, in our study we could assess the proportion of workers who read their first email invitation, which was less than 27%. In addition, invitations were limited to a maximum of 2 due to institutional requirements. However, in order to improve representativeness, we have carefully weighted the observed data as to exactly reproduce the gender, age and professional category distribution of healthcare personnel in each participating institution. Second, the study was cross-sectional in nature and it cannot be used to infer any causal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers. Nevertheless, we used clear...
