This study aimed to examine differences in mental health and alcohol use outcomes across distinct patterns of work, home, and social life disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from 2093 adult participants were collected from September 2020 to April 2021 as a part of a larger study examining the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on substance use. Participants provided data on COVID-19 pandemic experiences, mental health outcomes, media consumption, and alcohol use at baseline. Alcohol use difficulties, including problems related to the use, desire to use alcohol, failure to cut down on alcohol use, and family/friend concern with alcohol use, were measured at 60-day follow-up. Factor mixture modeling followed by group comparisons, multiple linear regressions, and multiple logistic regressions was conducted. A four-profile model was selected. Results indicated that profile membership predicted differences in mental health and alcohol use outcomes above and beyond demographics. Individuals experiencing the most disruption reported the strongest daily impact of COVID-19 and significantly high levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, alcohol use at baseline, and alcohol use difficulties measured at 60-day follow-up. The findings highlight the need for integrated mental health and/or alcohol services and social services targeting work, home, and social life during public health emergencies in order to respond effectively and comprehensively to the needs of those requiring different types of support.
本研究旨在探讨与 COVID-19 大流行相关的工作、家庭和社会生活中断的不同模式对心理健康和饮酒结果的影响差异。2093 名成年参与者的数据于 2020 年 9 月至 2021 年 4 月期间作为一项更大规模研究的一部分收集,该研究旨在考察 COVID-19 大流行对物质使用的影响。参与者在基线时提供了关于 COVID-19 大流行经历、心理健康结果、媒体消费和饮酒的数据。在 60 天随访时测量了饮酒困难,包括与使用、渴望使用酒精、未能减少酒精使用以及家人/朋友对酒精使用的担忧有关的问题。进行了因子混合模型分析,随后进行了组间比较、多元线性回归和多元逻辑回归。选择了一个四因素模型。结果表明,轮廓成员身份预测了心理健康和饮酒结果的差异,超出了人口统计学因素的影响。经历最多中断的个体报告了 COVID-19 的最强日常影响,以及显著高水平的抑郁、焦虑、孤独、不知所措、基线时的饮酒以及在 60 天随访时测量的饮酒困难。研究结果强调了在公共卫生紧急情况下需要提供综合的心理健康和/或酒精服务以及针对工作、家庭和社会生活的社会服务,以便有效和全面地满足那些需要不同类型支持的人的需求。
