在新冠肺炎之后，跟踪心理健康症状和需求的新趋势的能力将在多个生态层面指导公共卫生应对。这项调查使用谷歌趋势追踪美国人群层面与心理健康相关的谷歌搜索，发现与大流行相关的搜索量激增，这些搜索量与焦虑症状和远程焦虑治疗有关。比如深呼吸和身体扫描冥想。由于心理健康在人群水平上的其他明显变化尚未出现，因此有必要继续进行监测。
In the wake of COVID-19, the capacity to track emerging trends in mental health symptoms and needs will guide public health responses at multiple ecological levels. Using Google Trends to track population-level mental health-related Google searches in the United States, this investigation identified pandemic-associated spikes in searches related to anxiety symptoms and remote treatments for anxiety. such as deep breathing and body scan meditation. As other discernable population-level changes in mental health have yet to emerge, continued surveillance is warranted.
