Healio (12/12, Herpen) reports, “Among healthcare workers in England, prevalence estimates of PTSD and common mental disorders were markedly lower when assessed using diagnostic interviews compared with screening tools,” investigators concluded after conducting “a two-phase, cross-sectional study comprised of diagnostic interviews within a larger multisite longitudinal cohort of healthcare workers (n = 23,462) during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The findings were published online Dec. 8 in The Lancet Psychiatry.
