The Wellcome Trust is funding a network of longitudinal studies on the global mental health impact of Covid-19, led by an international steering group of scientists and mental health professionals.
COVID-Minds links together studies from countries around the world, supporting the sharing of protocols and data, the harmonisation of mental health measures, and the dissemination of findings to policy-makers and health bodies.
The network will collate empirical research on mental health as it is published and send fortnightly newsletters to help researchers stay up to date.
