- Individuals of color and gender-diverse populations face higher rates of mental health issues, particularly depression and anxiety, compared to their White and cisgender counterparts.
- A study analyzed health records of nearly 30,000 patients, categorizing them by race and gender identity to assess mental health symptom severity and diagnosis likelihood.
- Results showed that transgender individuals had increased symptom severity, while nonbinary individuals consistently faced high symptom levels across races, with notably high rates of clinical depression and anxiety among Black nonbinary and transgender adults.
Background: Whether COVID-19 is associated with a change in risk perception about other health conditions is unknown. Because COVID-19 occurred during a breast cancer study, we evaluated the effect of COVID-19 risk perception on women's breast cancer risk perception.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between perceived risk of COVID-19 and change in perceived breast cancer risk.
Background: Little is known about attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination in sub-Saharan Africa, where immunisation coverage is the lowest in the world.
Aim: The study aimed to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and uptake in Cameroon, and assess changes in these factors over a period of time.
Setting: The study was conducted in the ten regions of Cameroon.
