目的描述伦敦国王学院冠状病毒基线健康状况和国王队列同事的经历，并描述2020年4/5月英国一所大型大学教职员工和研究生中可能存在的抑郁和焦虑模式。方法于2020年4月通过电子邮件向在校教职工和研究生发送在线调查问卷(n=2590)。主要结果是可能的抑郁和焦虑，分别用患者健康问卷-9和广泛性焦虑障碍-7衡量。次要结果是酒精使用和心理健康方面的感知变化。使用汇总统计方法描述结果，并使用多变量泊松回归来探索与六组预测因素的关联：人口统计学和既往精神健康、生活安排、护理角色、医疗保健、职业因素和新冠肺炎感染。所有分析都经过加权，以说明样本和目标人群在年龄、性别和种族方面的差异。结果约20%的教职工和30%的研究生达到了问卷上可能存在的抑郁或焦虑的阈值。在年龄较小的受访者中，这一比例翻了一番，达到40%左右
Objectives To characterise the baseline King's College London Coronavirus Health and Experiences of Colleagues at King's cohort and describe patterns of probable depression and anxiety among staff and postgraduate research students at a large UK university in April/May 2020. Methods An online survey was sent to current staff and postgraduate research students via email in April 2020 (n=2590). Primary outcomes were probable depression and anxiety, measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7, respectively. Secondary outcomes were alcohol use and perceived change in mental health. Outcomes were described using summary statistics and multivariable Poisson regression was used to explore associations with six groups of predictors: demographics and prior mental health, living arrangements, caring roles, healthcare, occupational factors and COVID-19 infection. All analyses were weighted to account for differences between the sample and target population in terms of age, gender, and ethnicity. Results Around 20% of staff members and 30% of postgraduate research students met thresholds for probable depression or anxiety on the questionnaires. This doubled to around 40% among younger respondents aged
