Background Public health services and systems research is under-developed in Canada and this is particularly the case with respect to research on local public health unit operational functioning and capacity. The purpose of this paper is to report on a study that will collect retrospective information on the local public health response to COVID-19 throughout Canada between 2020 and 2021. Methods/Design The goal of the study is to develop and implement a study framework that will collect retrospective information on the local public health system response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. This study will involve administering a mixed-method survey to Medical Health Officers/Medical Officers of Health in every local and regional public health unit across the country, followed by a process of coding and grouping these responses in a consistent and comparable way. Coded responses will be assessed for patterns of divergent or convergent roles and approaches of local public health across the country with respect to interventions in their response to COVID-19. The Framework Method of thematic analysis will be applied to assess the qualitative answers to the open-ended questions that speak to public health policy features. Discussion The strengths of the study protocol include the engagement of Medical Health Officers/Medical Officers of Health as research partners and a robust integrated knowledge translation approach to further public health services and systems research in Canada.

Abstract Background:Public health measures including social isolationare essential forCOVID-19 control,but also increase the risk of depression. This study examined the influencing and moderating factors on socially isolated people’s depressive symptoms. Methods: Data were collected from people in mandatory home or centralizedsocial isolation in Shenzhen, China from February 28 to March 6 in 2020. We assessed their perceived COVID-19risk, perceived tone of media coverage, perceived quality of people-oriented public health services, and depressive symptoms.Three stepwise multiple regressions were performed to examine the moderating effects controlling age, gender, education, monthly income, socially isolated venue,time spent on COVID-related news, and online social support.Results:We examined data from 340 people. 57.6% men, averaged age at 35.5 years old (SD = 8.37), 55.6% held bachelor’s degree or above.Overall, people in social isolation reported a moderate level ofdepressive symptoms (M =1.24, SD = 0.4). The perceived susceptibility of being infected was relatively low (M = 1.36, SD = 0.54), and the perceived tone of media coverage was mainly positive (M = 1.97, SD = 1.05). In terms of perceived quality of public health services, 3.2% (n = 11) participants reported low-level, 49.1% (n = 167) medium-level, and 47.6 (n =162) high-level quality ofpeople-oriented services. Perceived riskwas significantly associated with depression (β= .12, p< 0.01), and perceived tone of media coverage was negatively associated with depression (β= -.05, p< 0.01).The quality of people-centered public health service moderated the association between perceived riskand depressive symptoms(β= -.15, p< 0.05), and the relationship between perceived tone of media coverage and depressive symptoms(β= .01, p< 0.01).Conclusions:This studyfound thatpeople-oriented public health servicesreduced the effect of risk perception and media tone on depressive symptoms among COVID-19 socially isolated people, suggesting a critical role for frontline public health workers in protecting public mental health.
