February 11 Psychiatry Grand Rounds | Rachel Donnelly, PhD
Webinar ID: 926 0419 5205

Objectives:
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the likelihood that individuals will be exposed to stressors that may undermine mental health. However, these individual-level processes unfold within macro-level contexts. This presentation uses nationally representative data to examine whether state-level policies exacerbate or ameliorate the mental health consequences of stress during the pandemic.
The activity is designed to help the learner:
1. Describe how individual experiences can be shaped by the sociopolitical environment
2. Explain how state-level contexts affect the mental health of people during the COVID-19 pandemic
3. Apply theoretical frameworks for stress and health to specific examples during the pandemic
