Journal Article
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted population health, including mental health, in ways that were patterned unevenly by pre-existing systemic inequalities such as structural gendered racism and xenophobia. However, it remains unclear whether pandemic-related mental health deterioration has persisted over time. Authors conceptualize the pandemic as a prolonged macro-level disruptive event with unequal ramifications for different racialized groups and by immigration status.
