Two psychological outcomes were assessed: probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and probable generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The roles of various stressors (i.e., threat perceived for oneself or family\/friends, quarantine or isolation, financial losses, victims of stigma), assets (i.e., trust in authorities, information received, and compliance with directives) and sources of information used on these two outcomes were also examined. Chi-square tests were performed to examine differences in the distribution of probable PTSD and GAD according to these stressors and assets.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Probable PTSD and GAD were observed in 25.5% and 25.4% of the respondents, respectively. These proportions were significantly lower in Quebec than elsewhere in Canada. Perceiving a high level of threat and being a victim of stigma were positively associated with probable PTSD and GAD (but not quarantine\/isolation and financial losses). A high level of trust in authorities was the only asset associated with a lower risk of PTSD or GAD. Interestingly, this asset was more frequently reported in Quebec than elsewhere in Canada.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The COVID-19 pandemic represents a unique opportunity to evaluate the psychosocial impacts on various sociocultural groups and contexts, providing important lessons that could help respond to future disasters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17579759211023671","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]],"date-time":"2021-07-16T06:25:38Z","timestamp":1626416738000},"page":"23-32","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Psychological response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada: main stressors and assets"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"M\u00e9lissa","family":"G\u00e9n\u00e9reux","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"},{"name":"Eastern Townships Public Health Department, CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie-CHUS, Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6405-6765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mathieu","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine & Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marc D.","family":"David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9partement de communication, Facult\u00e9 des Lettres et Sciences Humaines, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1094-6751","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie-\u00c8ve","family":"Carignan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9partement de communication, Facult\u00e9 des Lettres et Sciences Humaines, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Blouin-Genest","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Applied Politics, Facult\u00e9 des Lettres et Sciences Humaines, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.M.
