Why the COVID-19 pandemic is a traumatic stressor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of online participants (N = 1,040), in five western countries, were asked to indicate the COVID-19 events they had been directly exposed to, events they anticipated would happen in the future, and other forms of indirect exposure such as through media coverage.

Why the COVID-19 pandemic is a traumatic stressor

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
