Unemployment, working from home, and day-to-day changes may lead to a greater risk of poor mental health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper describes the protocol for a web-based cross-sectional study that aims to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Individuals from the general population aged 18 years or more and living in Portugal were included in this study. Data collection took place between November 10, 2020, and February 10, 2021. An exponential, nondiscriminative, snowball sampling method was applied to recruit participants. A web-based survey was developed and shared on social media platforms (eg, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp groups) and through e-mail lists for recruitment of the seeds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data analysis will be performed in accordance with the different variables and outcomes of interest by using quantitative methods, qualitative methods, or mixed methods, as applicable. A total of 929 individuals had completed the web-based survey during the 3-month period; thus, our final sample comprised 929 participants. Results of the survey will be disseminated in national and international scientific journals in 2021-2022.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We believe that the findings of this study will have broad implications for understanding the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Portuguese residents, as well as aspects related to the informal economy. We also hope that the findings of this study are able to provide insights and guidelines for the Portuguese government to implement action. Finally, we expect this protocol to provide a roadmap for other countries and researchers that would like to implement a similar questionnaire considering the related conclusions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DERR1-10.2196\/28071<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/28071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,7]],"date-time":"2021-09-07T14:56:50Z","timestamp":1631026610000},"page":"e28071","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Psychological Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Social Determinants on the Portuguese Population: Protocol for a Web-Based Cross-sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7643-8963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A","family":"Aguiar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1518-1302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2257-3099","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"178","year":"2001","journal-title":"The World Health Report 2001: Mental Health: New Understanding, New Hope"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"1","year":"2008","journal-title":"The Global Burden of Disease: 2004 Update"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(16)30887-x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/655811"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.psy.0000116718.54414.9e"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200003023420906"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bbi.2011.02.001"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/apc.2005.19.110"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpediatrics.2009.95"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10461-008-9498-6"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2011.08.025"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2013.22"},{"key":"ref13","first-page":"119","author":"Fiese, BH","year":"2007","journal-title":"Multilevel Dynamics in Developmental Psychopathology.
