Stress in America 2020 Survey Signals a Growing National Mental Health Crisis

American Psychological Association sounds alarm about potential long-term impacts for Gen Z; offers ways people can better cope during uncertainty

American Psychological Association

WASHINGTON — Stress from COVID-19 — along with stress related to health care, the economy, racism and the presidential election — is seriously threatening the mental health of our country, particularly our youngest generation, according to a new national survey from the American Psychological Association.

Stress in America^TM 2020: A National Mental Health Crisis, conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of APA, found that nearly 8 in 10 adults (78%) say the coronavirus pandemic is a significant source of stress in their lives, while 3 in 5 (60%) say the number of issues America faces is overwhelming to them. Gen Z adults, on average, say their stress level during the prior month is 6.1, on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 means “little to no stress” and 10 means “a great deal of stress.” This compares with a reported average stress level among all adults of 5.0.

Nearly 1 in 5 adults (19%) say their mental health is worse than it was at this time last year. By generation, 34% of Gen Z adults report worse mental health, followed by Gen X (21%), millennials (19%), boomers (12%) and older adults (8%). Gen Z adults are the most likely to report experiencing common symptoms of depression, with more than 7 in 10 noting that in the prior two weeks they felt so tired that they sat around and did nothing (75%), felt very restless (74%), found it hard to think properly or concentrate (73%), felt lonely (73%), or felt miserable or unhappy (71%).

“This survey confirms what many mental health experts have been saying since the start of the pandemic: Our mental health is suffering from the compounding stressors in our lives,” said Arthur C. Evans Jr., PhD, APA’s chief executive officer. “This compounding stress will have serious health and social consequences if we don’t act now to reduce it. We’re already seeing this with some of the youngest members of our nation, who just seven months into this crisis are beginning to show signs of serious mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.”

Changes to school are negatively impacting Gen Z. Most Gen Z teens ages 13–17 (81%) report they have experienced negative impacts of pandemic-related school closures, and half (51%) say the pandemic makes planning for their future feel impossible. Like teens, 2 in 3 Gen Z adults in college (67%) say the pandemic makes planning for their future feel impossible. Further, most Gen Z adults in college (87%) report education is a significant source of stress in their lives.

“Loneliness and uncertainly about the future are major stressors for adolescents and young adults, who are striving to find their places in the world, both socially, and in terms of education and work. The pandemic and its economic consequences are upending youths’ social lives and their visions for their futures,” said Emma Adam, PhD, Edwina S. Tarry Professor of Education and Social Policy. “We must work to provide social, emotional and mental health supports to this generation, while providing much-needed financial assistance and educational and work opportunities for youth. Both comfort now and hope for the future are essential for the long-term well-being of this generation.”

The survey also indicates most Americans are not getting the support they need. The majority of adults (61%) say they could have used more emotional support than they received over the prior 12 months, with more than 8 in 10 Gen Z adults (82%) saying the same.

“As a society, we must galvanize our resources to support teens and young adults,” said Evans. “We need to stand with them to fight systemic injustices, which can be a source of stress relief, while supporting them in building their resilience. The pandemics of racism and COVID will not be overcome quickly. We all need to learn skills to help us manage our stress while we fight for a society that is more equitable, resilient, and innovative.”

The report includes insights on specific ways policymakers, civic leaders, educators and parents can support those who are most affected. Such strategies include:

Facilitating access to mental health services during and after the pandemic, including an expansion of congressional pandemic relief efforts that include substantial funding for mental health and support services. This also should include investing in prevention and treatment, continued support and expansion of telehealth services and increasing funding to better support school mental health services.

Creating new and safe opportunities to connect with family, culture and community. These connections are fundamental to youth development and well-being.

Help young people observe important milestones in new ways, rather than putting them off until everything is “normal” again. Encourage them to be the generation that reinvents society by creating new celebrations and traditions that are meaningful.

Provide innovative educational, work, training and employment opportunities targeted at this generation of young adults. They need to identify new opportunities and interests that help them see a path forward for themselves.

Acknowledge the sacrifices that have been made by Gen Z. This generation has been forced to give up social involvement that is critical to their development, milestones such as graduations and proms, and even their education. Acknowledging this sacrifice could encourage Gen Z to continue the difficult job of refraining from normal social activity, and elevate their actions as a solution to overcoming the pandemic’s global impact.

Overcoming Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: Lessons From Elvis

By John LaMattina | Forbes For months now multiple companies have been feverishly working to complete huge studies with their Covid-19 vaccines as governments around the world are desperate to pro By John LaMattina | Forbes

For months now multiple companies have been feverishly working to complete huge studies with their Covid-19 vaccines as governments around the world are desperate to protect their citizens and get their respective economies open again. These studies are going well enough that it is entirely likely that one or more vaccines will be available by early next year. But beyond proving the safety and efficacy of their vaccines, there is a different – and bigger – problem.

People don’t seem to want to take a Covid-19 vaccine.

A recent Wall Street Journal/NBC survey showed that only 20% would take a vaccine as soon as it is available with 50% saying that they would wait to see if any problems arose over time. A STAT/Harris Poll was more optimistic with 58% saying that they’d get vaccinated as soon as possible, although this is down 11% since the August poll. And, before you think that this is only a U.S. phenomenon, a World Economic Forum/Ipsos survey of 20,000 people indicated that more than a quarter of respondents said that they would not get a Covid-19 vaccine at all. For a vaccine to have its intended effect, the majority of a population needs to be immunized – not just 40 – 50%.

Simply hoping that, once a vaccine is available, people will have a change of heart will never happen. Active measures are going to be needed if we are to overcome Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy. However, there are steps that can be taken. First, let’s get a variety of well-known people publicly supporting getting vaccinated. There is precedent for this. In the 1950s, polio was infecting more than 60,000 children annually with 3,000 of these children dying and thousands more permanently injured.Things were different then. Once the Salk vaccine was available, people lined up to get their children vaccinated. Polio was thought to be a disease of kids and so teens and adults opted out as they thought they were not at risk. However, the majority of people in a population need to be vaccinated for herd immunity to occur thereby maximizing effectiveness. To overcome this reluctance, public health officials recruited Elvis Presley, who agreed to get vaccinated live on the Ed Sullivan Show. This proved to be a brilliant move and within six months the vaccination rate for teens went from 0.6% to 80%. Perhaps today there isn’t one star with Elvis’ broad appeal, but there are certainly a number of figures in entertainment and sports that can lend their weight to a similar effort. These people should be lined up now for an Elvis-like happening once a vaccine is available in 2021.

For companies to be reopened it will be important for their workforce to get vaccinated. However, companies cannot force people to do this. Yet, they can make things easier for their colleagues and their families to get vaccinated by setting up centers at their workplaces where people can come and readily get vaccinated. After all, companies often run blood drives on their sites. While Covid-19 distribution will be more complicated that getting blood donations, it is doable. Here in Southeast Connecticut one could hope that Pfizer, which employs more than 3,000 people in the area, could set up shop on its campus to distribute its vaccine (or whichever one gets approved) to its colleagues, families or any neighbors who would want it. One would hope that all biopharmaceutical companies would do something similar. But this shouldn’t be restricted to drug companies. Any company involved in supplying the food chain could do this, as well as any large manufacturer that wants to protect its workforce.

What about college students whose sense of invincibility will make them reluctant to bother getting a vaccine? College administrators could offer vaccinations in large arenas on campus. Those who avail themselves of this opportunity could then get free tickets to a major campus event. Picture a big concert at the University of Michigan’s “Big House” with over 100,000 vaccinated students and friends finally being able to have fun again. This could happen across the country.

These are just a few thoughts and I am sure that others have more and better ideas. The importance is that we have to start planning this NOW. It makes no sense to get these vaccines but not have the majority of Americans take them. It is going to take a lot of work to make this happen. But this is the only way we are going to deal with this pandemic and end the lockdown.

Our choice today is the seasonal pumpkin spice. Feel free to join us. Meanwhile, here are a few tidbits to help you get started. We hope your day is smashing, and do keep in touch. …

The share of Americans who say they are likely to get a Covid-19 vaccine as soon as it’s available is dropping — and the decline is notably more pronounced among Black Americans than among white individuals,according to a new survey from STAT and The Harris Poll. The survey found that 59% of white Americans indicated they would get vaccinated as soon as a vaccine is ready, a decline from 70% in mid-August. Only 43% of Black individuals said they would pursue a vaccine as soon as it was available, a sharp drop from 65% in mid-August.

In the early weeks of 2020, the Milken Institute and The Harris Poll surveyed 23,000 people in 27 countries to identify their most urgent social and economic priorities. Then the pandemic hit. In the ensuing months, the Institute and Harris replicated the fieldwork to understand how people's pressing pre-COVID needs have been reprioritized in the midst of a pandemic. The results reveal that many of the challenges people face—including financial vulnerability, social injustice, and access to affordable health care—are both interdependent and amplified by the virus. This panel will explore how we can solve these most urgent challenges with renewed collaboration, innovative thinking, and tailored approaches to communities in need around the globe.
