• COVID-19 Distress thermometer | 2020 LT
  We developed and tested platform that was used to evaluate COVID-19 associated mental health problems in Lithuani. The study and its consent procedures were approved by regional bioethics committee before initiation of the study. The developed platform can be used to screen/evaluate for the most common mental disorders and provide with personalized evidence-based recommendations. The platform evaluates 1) Depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire 2 and 8); 2) Anxiety symptoms (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2 and 7); 3) Stree (Impact of Events Scale – Revisited); 4) Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index); 5) Alcohol use (AUDIT); 6) Demographic and health related data and COVID-19 information use. Results and recommendations (in Lithuanian).
