Different Levels

How does the prevalence of COVID-19 impact people’s mental health? In a preregistered study (N = 857), we sought to answer this question by comparing demographically matched samples in four regions in the United States and Italy with different levels of cumulative COVID-19 prevalence. No main effect of prevalence emerged. Rather, prevalence region had opposite effects, depending on the country. New York City participants (high prevalence) reported more general distress, PTSD symptoms, and COVID-19 worry than San Francisco (low prevalence). Conversely, Campania participants (low prevalence) reported more general distress, PTSD symptoms, and COVID-19 worry than Lombardy (high prevalence). Consistent with these patterns, COVID-19 worry was more strongly linked with general distress and PTSD symptoms in New York than San Francisco, whereas COVID-19 worry was more strongly linked with PTSD in Campania than Lombardy. In exploratory analyses, media exposure predicted and mapped on to geographic variation in mental health outcomes.

David Starkweather is the cellist on the faculty of the University of Georgia. He grew up near San Francisco, then attended the Eastman School of Music. This was followed by four years of graduate work at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he studied cello with Bernard Greenhouse. In 1985, Starkweather spent half a year in Switzerland for intensive work with Pierre Fournier, earning the famous French cellist's accolade as “one of the best cellists of his generation.” He was awarded a certificate of merit as a semi-finalist in the 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition. Starkweather has been featured on the National Public Radio show Performance Today and in. a PBS one-hour recital program televised nationwide. A review in the Atlanta Constitution praised his “sensitive phrasing and Starkweather's obvious technical facility.” His previous articles for AST were “Methods of Shifting” (Winter 1988) and “Choice of Fingerings” (Summer 1990).
