Factors linked to the onset of psychological distress during the first lockdown related to the Covid-19 outbreak

June 2020




Scope: Adults who completed the questionnaire (n = 3,200), living in general households in mainland France.

Source: COCLICO Survey in the general population, Wave 1, conducted between 3 and 14 April 2020

Note: An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) equal to 1 reflects the absence of association between the factor studied and the onset of psychological distress, an AOR higher than 1 indicates a link between the factor studied and an increase in the risk of onset of psychological distress, and an AOR lower than 1 indicates a link between the factor studied and a reduction in the risk of onset of psychological distress. The more the AOR is removed from 1, the greater the strength of the link.

Reading: Being a woman, having poor social support and a worsening financial situation are among the most important risk factors for the onset of psychological distress during the lockdown linked to the Covid-19 outbreak, all other things being equal.
