The purpose of this study is to explore trends in self-reported psychological distress among health care workers (HCWs) across the continuum in primary care, hospital-based, and long-term care in Windsor Essex County at two stages of the epidemic, during and following the first wave of the COVID-19 crisis. This study will also provide insight into factors associated with distress in HCWs and explore ways in which local mental health providers can support, promote, and restore the emotional well-being of health care staff.
