This $3.787 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health will fund research into the relationship between social isolation, online connectivity, and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the Massachusetts General Hospital researchers will analyze data from the COVID States Project survey of over 260,000 individuals to characterize how disrupted social networks relate to depressed mood among vulnerable subgroups. An innovative browser extension will also help characterize the online behaviors of 1,200 survey respondents. Additionally, the researchers will integrate survey data with state-level pandemic response policies and metrics like mobility and case counts to examine how external factors may impact social networks and moderate their link to depression. Northeastern University will aid in survey development, data set generation and analysis with a focus on measures of social networks. This grant aims to identify targets for interventions addressing pandemic-related social disconnection and its effects on depression in vulnerable populations, in line with the NIMH's Mental Health Research Grants program goals.
