Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic and its social and economic consequences have had adverse impacts on physical and mental health worldwide and exposed all segments of the population to protracted uncertainty and daily disruptions. The CoRonavIruS health and Impact Survey (CRISIS) was developed for use as an easy to implement and robust questionnaire covering key domains relevant to mental distress and resilience during the pandemic. Ongoing studies using CRISIS include international studies of COVID-related ill health conducted during different phases of the pandemic and follow-up studies of cohorts characterized before the COVID pandemic. In the current work, we demonstrate the feasibility, psychometric structure, and construct validity of this survey. We then show that pre-existing mood states, perceived COVID risk, and lifestyle changes are strongly associated with negative mood states during the pandemic in population samples of adults and in parents reporting on their children in the US and UK. These findings are highly reproducible and we find a high degree of consistency in the power of these factors to predict mental health during the pandemic.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This limitation applies to the majority of the current mental health surveys of COVID-19, which have mostly used samples ascertained through web-based sources.43 We employed this approach in order to quickly deploy the CRISIS to large numbers of participants within a brief time frame during the initial peak of the pandemic, to rapidly evaluate test-retest reliability, and to pilot the shorter follow-up version of the CRISIS. We do not expect the composition of our sample to strongly affect our findings regarding the structure of the CRISIS, the reliability of its items or unidimensional domains, or its construct validity. The relatively lower racial/ethnic diversity in the present study is an important limitation, particularly in light of the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on marginalized communities.44,45 Further work is required to assess the properties of CRISIS in different racial/ethnic groups, cultural settings, and languages. However, these data source provided samples with broad coverage of the US and UK populations with respect to age, sex, and race.44,46,47 Moreover, this pilot study did not include the youth self-report version of the CRISIS, but this work is now underway in our collaborative network. Validation of youth reports will be particularly relevant because the profiles of predictors of change derived from families with children under age 18 differed from those from adult households. These findings reflect the initial steps of instrument development t...
