Liquidity-poor Households in the Midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a huge surge in deposits, although little is known about how this was distributed. This paper overcomes the lack of timely micro-data on households' liquidity by looking at supervisory data, introducing a new method to estimate the trend in liquidity distribution and the percentage of liquidity-poor households. We find that in 2020 there was a decrease both in the degree of deposit inequality among Italian households and in the share of liquidity-poor households, alongside government support measures that allowed some households at the bottom of the liquidity ladder to save out of their declining income. The increase in households' liquidity improved their ability to repay debts, and this could help spending patterns to rebound once confidence about the economic outlook is restored. Despite this, households with insufficient liquidity buffers still constitute a large share of population, making their debt repayment capacity dependent on the strength of the economic recovery.

[The Role of Colombian Psychiatrists in the Midst of the COVID 19 Pandemic].

Project description:IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on multiple levels, one being the way of providing mental health care services. A study was proposed in order to identify the standpoints regarding the role we must assume as psychiatrists in the setting of this pandemic in Colombia.MethodsA study was developed employing a Delphi-type methodology. Three types of psychiatrist were included for the application of the instrument: directors of academic psychiatry programmes, directors of mental health institutions and private practitioners.ResultsResponses were collected over the course of a month (between April and May) by 24 participants corresponding to 14 private practitioners (58.3%), 6 heads of academic programmes (25.1%) and 4 directors of mental health services (16.6%). The results, grouped around the psychiatric work, describe the impact generated by the pandemic and the possible role of the specialist.ConclusionsConsistency was identified around the need to provide a differential approach according to the vulnerabilities of each group of people exposed to the pandemic; as well as the remote provision of health care through technology, often using videoconferencing.

Liquidity constraints, cash transfers and the demand for health care in the Covid-19 pandemic.

Project description:This paper proposes the hypothesis that liquidity constraints may delay or even prevent sick individuals from seeking medical help. If this is the case, a cash transfer can directly increase the demand for medical care. We evaluated this hypothesis empirically in the context of the implementation of Emergency Aid (EA), a large-scale cash transfer program in Brazil, during the Covid-19 pandemic. We used the program's implementation calendar along with a Regression Discontinuity in Time to assess the causal effects of EA on the search for the health system. Consistent with our hypothesis, we estimate that the transfer immediately decreased the time to search for the health system by 14% and increased COVID-19 hospitalizations by 0.015%.

Protecting our vulnerable in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learnt from Malta.

Project description:ObjectivesCOVID-19 is a health burden threatening the elderly and those with comorbidities. Malta is an ageing and cardiometabolic country. The study depicts how Malta protected the elderly and the effect of vaccination on this subpopulation.Study designObservational study with quantitative analyses.MethodData were obtained from Malta's COVID dashboard, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and Maltese newspapers. The case-fatality ratio (CFR) and Years of Life Lost (YLLs) for COVID were calculated. Comparisons were made between COVID-19 mortality and YLL to the pre-COVID leading mortality causes. Comparative observations were made between positive and mortality cases stratified by age groups in relation to the cumulative vaccination doses.ResultsThe elderly were cocooned during the first wave (CFR 0.98) through the Vulnerable Act, with only 10.80% of positive cases and seven out nine deaths above 65 years. The Vulnerable Act was not reinstated again, with 13.68% of positive cases and 91.34% (n = 369) of deaths above 65 years during the second wave (CRF 1.39). The elderly were given priority in COVID-19 vaccination rollout leading to an inverse relationship between positive cases/mortality and vaccination coverage.ConclusionThe elderly should be protected with timely restrictions to reduce morbidity, mortality and burden on healthcare systems. Vaccination is key to protecting the elderly, although mitigation measures, such as physical distancing, are still required to prevent the resurgence of infections and hospitalizations, especially in this group.

Chronic Conditions and Resilience: Adolescent Health Behaviors in the Midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Thailand.

Project description:Objective. To assess the impact of chronic illnesses on risk behaviors and psychosocial adjustments among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2021 and September 2022, including adolescents aged 10 to 18 years. Participants completed the Thai Youth Risk Behavior Survey and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Student's t-test, Chi-square test, and logistic regression. Results. Adolescents with chronic illnesses (n = 120) were more likely to exhibit risk behaviors related to violence (38.3%) and mental health issues (18.3%). They also scored higher on total difficulties (mean = 12.23, SD = 5.14) and emotional symptoms (mean = 3.08, SD = 2.45) than the healthy group (n = 120). Conclusion. During the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents with chronic illnesses in Thailand demonstrated increased risk behaviors related to violence and mental health issues, highlighting the need for tailored interventions.

Crossing barriers: Role of a tele-outreach program addressing psychosocial needs in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic.

Project description:Novel Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID 19) pandemic has affected more than 2 million individuals and causing over 0.1 million deaths worldwide. In India, the pandemic has gained momentum in the last few weeks with over 10,000 cases and 400 deaths. In the absence of any pharmacological cure on the horizon, countries have resorted to the use of strict public health measures to curtail spread of further infection to fight the coronavirus. The pandemic and its social implications have triggered mental health concerns among the masses. Providing psychological first aid and psychosocial support is vital in mitigating the distress and enhance the coping strategies of people to deal with this biological disaster. Tele-mental health services play an important role in this regard. In this article we describe our preliminary experience in understanding the psychological concerns of general public and addressing them by providing psychological support through a national telephonic helpline.

Basic personal values in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy: A two-wave longitudinal study.

Project description:This study investigated value change during two phases of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, one of the most affected countries in the world. The first wave of data was collected in summer 2020, when the virus was on the retreat. The second wave was collected in autumn, at the peak of the second pandemic wave (November 2020). We investigated how Schwartz's higher-order values changed over the two waves of the study, using economic condition as a predictor of change. We also examined whether value change predicted subsequent value-expressive behavior. Results showed no mean-level change for self-enhancement, self-transcendence, conservation, and openness to change values, but significant interindividual differences in the amount of change for each of the four values. Economic condition emerged as a significant predictor of change in conservation values: Individuals with a decreasing income since the beginning of the pandemic were more likely to increase the importance assigned to these values with respect to individuals whose economic well-being has remained unchanged. Moreover, an increase in conservation and openness to change values predicted behaviors that are mostly expressive of these values, above and beyond value importance at Time 1. Results and their implications for the study of values are discussed.
