Clinical Trial Summary

This is an observational study examining the psychosocial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in seven low-and-middle income countries (Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Pakistan, Somaliland, and Turkiye). The data was obtained on standardised measures of wellbeing (WHO Well-Being Index), psychological distress (Kessler 10), post-traumatic stress (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5), post-traumatic growth (Posttraumatic Growth Inventory), and a novel pandemic-related stress (COVID Psychosocial Impacts Scale). Data was collected employing either a unilingual (in native language) or bilingual online survey (with English as a second language) from participants (N=2574) aged 18 and above using a non-probability convenient sampling. The findings enabled us to examine the psychosocial impacts of COVID-19, validate the translations of the CPIS and standardized measures; and determine the trajectory of study variables with pandemic exposure.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Analyzing the psychometric properties of the translations of the newly developed CPIS and other standardized measures.	The findings will give psychometric information on the translations and suitability of use of the newly developed CPIS and other standardized questionnaires (K10, WHO-5, PCL-5, PTGI) in seven LMICs. The metric used to characterize this outcome involves reliability (internal consistency) and validity (construct) analyses.	The time of data collection varies across site and was collected from Dec 2021 to Sep 2023.

The data will be collected employing a unilingual (Indonesia, Somaliland, Turkey) or bilingual (Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Pakistan) survey. With-in-subjects and between-subjects designs together with exploratory regression analyses will be employed to characterize this outcome.	Data was collected in a short-time window on each site.
