A cohort study of Covid-19 test positive and negative patients to detect and provide early treatment for mental health disorders

Lay Summary

Study enrolment was launched in January 2020. To date, the team has enrolled 43 participants (24 cases, 19 controls). The study received approval mid-February to begin recruiting francophone participants. We Ottawa’s case pool from 6 months prior has been small with only 1-5 cases per day to contact.
