Symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and other mental health problems following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Prevalence and correlates of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic and the major role of stigmatization in low- and middle-income countries: A multinational cross-sectional study

“…The prevalence of depressive symptoms remains high in all four countries, considering the latest World Health Organization studies in which between 3.8 and 4.3% of populations in these countries presented significant symptoms of depression ( World Health Organization, 2017 ). However, these prevalence rates are comparable to those observed among adults in crisis situations in Haiti, Rwanda, Togo, and the DRC (e.g., an earthquake, an epidemic) ( Cénat et al., 2020c ; Nakimuli-Mpungu et al., 2012 ). The results also showed that, except for Haiti, there were no significant gender differences.…”

The effect of COVID-19 lockdown on lifestyle and mood in Croatian general population: a cross-sectional study

“…Earthquake survivors are reported to develop PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms ( 48 ). This might explain the increase in the frequency of anxiety among respondents from Zagreb, who experienced an earthquake during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Frequency and correlates of anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in low- and middle-income countries: A multinational study

“…The same observation was made for age, where the differences were only significant for Haiti; the older participants are, the less anxious they are. Studies have already shown high prevalence rates of anxiety symptoms among different groups of young people in Haiti following the earthquake ( Cénat et al, 2020b , Derivois et al, 2017 ). However, these results may also be indicative of experiences similar to other events (e.g., cholera, earthquake, and other natural disasters) for older participants, which may make them less anxious.…”
