Overview

Cross-sectional survey uncovers distinct pandemic experience profiles linked to psychological distress in adults, highlighting vulnerable demographic subgroups.

Key Points

  • To identify distinct profiles of pandemic-related adversity and examine their relationship with psychosocial functioning using the Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional online survey of adults residing in the Northeast United States (N = 652) recruited through online advertisements.
  • Applied person-centered latent class analysis to 38 pandemic-related experiences from the 92-item inventory that exhibited significant bivariate correlations with perceived stress.
  • Identified five unique respondent profiles, with three profiles (approximately 64% of the sample) exhibiting moderate-to-high adverse exposure and elevated rates of positive screens for depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress.
  • Found that the remaining two profiles (approximately 36% of the sample) displayed low adversity exposure and lower psychosocial impairment, with profiles separated by age, caregiving responsibilities, and employment status.
