Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Population Health
Mikko Myrskylä, Jonas Schöley, Mine Kühn, Enrique Acosta, Timothy Riffe; in Collaboration with Héctor Pifarré i Arolas (University of Wisconsin-Madison, La Follette School of Public Affairs, USA)
Detailed Description
COVID-19 affects every aspect of population health, from the physical and mental well-being of individuals to families and communities, health care systems, and economies worldwide. The pandemic has caused a marked increase in illness and death, leading to the worst decline in global health since the 1950s.
At the Laboratory of Population Health, we collect data to monitor the pandemic's impact, track the recovery process, and analyze why some populations are more vulnerable than others.
In this project, we determine the pandemic's impact by comparing what has happened with COVID-19 to what would have happened without it. Our team uses its long-standing expertise in statistical estimation and forecasting to distinguish between the known and the uncertain. We analyze the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality, life expectancy, and lifespan inequality. We study vaccination rates and the mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on disparities between types of families. As the direct and indirect consequences of the pandemic play out over time, we will help to identify the "new normal" for population health.
