“…Thirty studies investigated the impact of gender. Gender differences were noted in nineteen studies ( Ahmed et al, 2020 , Alpers et al, 2021 , Barbosa et al, 2021 , Boschuetz et al, 2020 , Callinan et al, 2021 , Callinan et al, 2021 , Đogaš et al, 2020 , Ferrante et al, 2020 , Gadermann et al, 2021 , Garnett et al, 2021 , Grossman et al, 2020 , Huckle et al, 2020 , Killgore et al, 2021 , Neill et al, 2020 , Niedzwiedz et al, 2021 , Pollard et al, 2020 , Rodriguez et al, 2020 , Rossinot et al, 2020 , Sallie et al, 2020 ), with no significant differences reported in eleven ( Bartoszek et al, 2020 , Chodkiewicz et al, 2020 , Czeisler et al, 2020 , Oksanen et al, 2021 , Rolland et al, 2020 , Sidor and Rzymski, 2020 , Szajnoga et al, 2020 , Vanderbruggen et al, 2020 , Villanueva et al, 2021 , Wardell et al, 2020 , Zajacova et al, 2020 ).

“…Twenty of these papers included a single question such as, “Since the start of the pandemic, has your alcohol use increased, decreased, or stayed the same?” In general, most papers ( n = 24) reported both increased and decreased alcohol use among different segments of the population. An equal number of papers ( n = 11) reported that more people increased their drinking ( Bartoszek et al, 2020 , Every-Palmer et al, 2020 , Górnicka et al, 2020 , Grossman et al, 2020 , Huckle et al, 2020 , Rolland et al, 2020 , Stanton et al, 2020 , Tran et al, 2020 , Vanderbruggen et al, 2020 , Weerakoon et al, 2020 , Zajacova et al, 2020 ), and decreased their drinking during the pandemic at the population level ( Alpers et al, 2021 , Chodkiewicz et al, 2020 , Constant et al, 2020 , Dozois, 2021 , Koopmann et al, 2020 , Kriaucioniene et al, 2020 , Oksanen et al, 2021 , Rodriguez et al, 2020 , Scarmozzino and Visioli, 2020 , Sidor and Rzymski, 2020 , Szajnoga et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Twenty-eight papers looked at the impact of age on SU and reported different trends, with four papers reporting no significant changes based on age ( Barbosa et al, 2021 , Boschuetz et al, 2020 , Sidor and Rzymski, 2020 , Szajnoga et al, 2020 ). Garnett et al (2021) reported that younger people changed their drinking behavior most often, whether increased or decreased, whereas Sallie et al (2020) reported that changes were positively associated with age.…”

Background The aim of this paper was to examine the early impact of COVID-19 on substance use to assess implications for planning substance use treatment and support systems. Method A systematic review of literature published up to March 2021 was conducted to summarize changes in prevalence, incidence, and severity of substance use associated with COVID-19 and the accompanying public health measures, including lockdown, stay-at-home orders, and social distancing. Results We identified 53 papers describing changes to substance use at the population level. The majority of papers described changes related to alcohol use and most relied on self-reported measures of consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared with pre-pandemic use. There was less evidence to support changes in non-alcohol substance use. In general, risky pre-pandemic alcohol use, caregiving responsibilities, stress, depression, anxiety, and current treatment for a mental disorder were found to be associated with increased substance use. Conclusion This review provides preliminary data on changes in substance use, indicating that certain segments of the population increased their alcohol use early on in the COVID-19 pandemic and may be at greater risk of harm and in need of additional services. There is a need for additional population-level information on substance use to inform evidence-based rapid responses from a treatment system perspective.

Purpose:The purpose of our study was to present the community helpline initiated by the Mokotow Mental Health Center (Mokotowskie Centrum Zdrowia Psychicznego -MCZP) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and summarize its performance. Methods: The Mokotow Helpline (Mokotowska Linia Wsparcia -MLW) operated from March to July 2020, providing ad hoc interventions and short-term regular help by psychologists and a social worker. Results: 599 interventions were delivered to 262 people. Emergency support was given to 70.6% of callers and regular short-term support was provided to 29.4%. The highest number of people contacted the helpline in the first weeks of its operations, while from May 2020 onwards the frequency of calls systematically decreased. Women requested assistance twice as often as men. The most frequent reasons for contacting the line were the need for advice and support in connection with symptoms of mental illness occurring in a loved one (21.4%), request for medical services, e.g. appointment with a psychiatrist, prescription renewal or psychotherapy appointment (16.0%), anxiety (15.6%), reactive (adjustment) (13.0%) and depressive disorders (5.7%) and financial difficulties or loss of a job (5.7%). The most frequent interventions consisted of psychological support (73.8%), information or psychoeducation (16.9%), and also referring people to institutions that could provide the most appropriate form of help (8.1%). Conclusions:The helpline is an easily accessible and practical means of providing assistance to the population in critical situations such as the pandemic. The kind, duration and frequency of this form of help should be varied and adapted to the wide range of problems reported by callers.

Changes in Behaviour Induced by COVID-19: Obedience to the Introduced Measures

The pandemic of COVID-19 that has plagued our planet since the beginning of 2020, has disrupted the way of life of society in general. As in other pandemics suffered throughout history, isolation has been a crucial measure to avoid contagion, causing effects beyond health, in many areas of life. How society obtains economic resources, spends them, enjoys leisure, or simply interacts, is now different. The political and economic context has changed, freedom of movements and expectations are also different. All this generates changes in the behaviour of society that does not react uniformly in all countries. This chapter reviews some of the modifications in behaviour caused by the present circumstances, as what will happen in future pandemics is not predictable for sure. The emphasis is placed on obedience observed in different contexts to imposed restrictions. Homes have become workplaces, consumption patterns have changed, and the derived effects are not always beneficial or distributed equally across the social strata.
