“…In March 2020, unprecedented measures were adopted to control the COVID-19 pandemic, including social distancing and mobility restrictions, which meant confining a large part of the population to their homes. In this context, there was an increase in stimuli that produce psychosocial stress [1], as well as modifications in habits and routines in different areas of life, including drug use [2][3][4]. The abuse of legal and illegal drugs became a secondary issue compared to the health risks directly related to COVID-19, even though its impact on health has been well established.…”

(1) The aim of the present study was to evaluate and characterize changes in alcohol use during the COVID-19 confinement in a sample of Spanish adults, analyzing their age and living situation as defining life cycle variables. (2) Method: Data from 3779 individuals were collected through a set of online surveys. AUDIT-C was used to measure the frequency of consumption, the average daily consumption, intensive consumption, risky consumption, and Standard Drink Units. (3) Results: Although alcohol consumption during confinement showed a significant general decline, age revealed important differences, with the decline being more pronounced in adults from 18 to 29 years old. The living situation also showed significant differences. The largest decreases in alcohol consumption were found in those who lived with their parents or other relatives, whereas those who lived alone or with a partner even increased their level of consumption. In addition, the data show a significant interaction between these two variables and gender. (4) Conclusions: Age and cohabitation processes are key factors in understanding the life situation of each individual during confinement and, consequently, in explaining consumption patterns. The results obtained provide interesting recommendations for designing prevention policies in both normal and crisis circumstances, emphasizing the need to understand alcohol use from a psychosocial perspective.

“…Furthermore, results indicated that male participants reported an increase in the consumption of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. Some studies show that the stress derived from isolation can be a potential trigger for cigarette and alcohol consumption, which may indicate a maladaptive response to the pandemic ( 46 , 47 ). In contrast, other studies documented that the pandemic encouraged some people to quit smoking, as smoking has been identified as a risk factor for more severe COVID-19 symptoms ( 48 – 51 ).…”

BackgroundThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions on mental health is being studied.ObjectiveTo analyze the psychosocial response to the COVID-19 pandemic in adults residing in Panama.MethodsA community sample of 480 adult residents of Panama completed a survey that included sociodemographic questions, COVID-19 related questions (e.g., health concerns regarding the virus, knowledge and behaviors in biosafety) and scales of stress, anxiety, depression, prosocial behavior, resilience, perceived social support, and insomnia.ResultsMost of the participants (>60%) reported being negatively affected by the pandemic. Women experienced greater depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms than men, and age was negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Self-perceived health status and self-perceived social support were negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Self-perceived social isolation was positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Psychiatric illness and insomnia were positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, whereas psychological resilience was negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms.DiscussionThese results corroborate other studies regarding COVID-19 and mental health. This study highlights the need for specific prevention and intervention mechanisms related to the COVID-19 pandemic in different population groups. This is the first report of the psychological impact of COVID-19 in the general Panamanian population and one of the only studies in the Latin American region and, therefore, contributes to research in the Latino population and lower-middle income countries.

“…Se identificó que existe aumento en la probabilidad de presentar un desenlace fatal por COVID-19 en población que fuma tabaco (OR 2,56 -IC 95 % 2,23-2,94; p< 0,05); esto es concordante con lo reportado por Sixto y colaboradores, donde se menciona que existe mayor riesgo de desarrollar la infección por SARS-CoV-2 en fumadores, ya que el virus hace más vulnerables y aumenta la permeabilidad de las células, utilizando como receptor a la enzima convertidora de angiotensina (ACE2). Se relaciona a su vez con la habilidad de los receptores nicotínicos de regular la expresión de la proteína ACE2 en las células del pulmón, lo que puede empeorar el pronóstico (9). Así mismo, se presenta mayor riesgo de un cuadro clínico severo que puede conducir a la muerte en pacientes (10).…”

Introducción: El alto flujo migratorio de personas procedentes del exterior implica mayor riesgo de propagación de SARS CoV2 en el territorio nacional. En Colombia desde marzo de 2020 a 31 de octubre de 2021 se han confirmado 67 787 casos en población extranjera. El objetivo es caracterizar epidemiológicamente la población extranjera de SARS CoV2 en el Sistema de Vigilancia de Salud Pública (Sivigila) desde marzo de 2020 a octubre de 2021. Materiales y métodos: estudio transversal observacional, con fuente primaria de datos de Sivigila desde marzo 2020 a octubre de 2021. Se calcularon medidas de tendencia central y dispersión, media y desviación estándar de las variables cuantitativas y proporciones para variables cualitativas. Se realizó análisis univariado y bivariado, se estimó razón de momios entre antecedentes, comorbilidades, edad y sexo, considerando estadísticamente significativos los valores p <0,05. Se realizó análisis espacial para identificar entidades territoriales de riesgo y procedencia de los casos importados. Resultados: se identificaron 67 893 casos de COVID 19 de población extranjera captada por la variable nacionalidad en el Sivigila. El promedio de edad fue de 35,8 ±15,8 (Me=33), la edad mínima fue de 0 años y la máxima 114 años. La variabilidad fue heterogénea (CV=42,81 %). El sexo predominante fue el masculino con el 51,9 % (n=35 203), femenino con 48,1 % (n=32 690). La ciudad con más casos corresponde a Bogotá con el 49,8 % de los casos (n=33 868), seguido del departamento de Antioquia con el 19,73 % (n=13.398), Valle del Cauca con el 5,64 % (n=3827) y Norte de Santander con 3,89 % (n=2640), El distrito de Barranquilla con 3,09 % (n=2098). Conclusión: en la población extranjera el número de casos es mayor en hombres, con una edad entre 30 a 39 años y 20 a 29 años. Se identificó que las muertes tienen una asociación con las comorbilidades de VIH y ser fumador. Se recomienda continuar con el seguimiento de esta población con el fin de identificar características demográficas de mayor vulnerabilidad y áreas de mayor afluencia para focalizar acciones de mitigación y control.
