As a principal investigator, Dr. Anthony Mancini of Pace University was awarded a 4-year $440,000 grant by the National Institutes of Health to study the psychological aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will examine the long-term social, economic, and psychological impacts of the pandemic, focusing on the broader social environment in ameliorating its negative effects. To achieve these aims, we assess various aspects of functioning, including financial strain, employment status, general distress, well-being, loneliness, social behavior, social support, and the perception of close others. In doing so, we will evaluate the interaction between social capital and economic impact. This study will provide insight into the impact of economic stress more broadly on key psychological functioning outcomes. This great effort is taken so that our findings may inform policy decisions, clinical intervention, and future research on collective acute stressors.
