The mental health consequences of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease of 2019) pandemic are likely to be vast, exceeding the capacity of mental health services and delaying treatment for people in need, with devastating consequences for those affected. Emerging data suggest that frontline health workers (e.g. physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians) and essential workers (in industries such as energy, and food products and services) face particular risks for mental health problems during and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, our previous findings have shown that among these higher risk individuals, young adults and women reported greater levels of clinical symptoms. To address the unprecedented mental health needs during and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic this study will develop and test novel, cost-effective and scalable, digitally-delivered mental health interventions, and will test this approach by focusing on health care workers and other essential workers with an eye toward the young adult portion of this population.
