Acute mental health responses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia	2020-05-08		.txt	text/plain	5975	329	55	Self-report questionnaires examined COVID-19 fears and behavioural responses to COVID-19, as well as the severity of psychological distress (depression, anxiety and stress), health anxiety, contamination fears, alcohol use, and physical activity. Demographic (e.g., non-binary or different gender identity; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status), occupational (e.g., being a carer or stay at home parent), and psychological (e.g., perceived risk of contracting COVID-19) factors were associated with distress. People with a previous self-reported mental health diagnosis reported higher uncertainty, loneliness, 269 financial worries, COVID-19 fears (self and others), believed they were more likely to contract 270 had lower perceived behavioural control, had higher rates of psychological distress, health anxiety and 271 contamination fears, and lower physical activity than those without a self-reported mental health diagnosis 272 history. Having a personal history of chronic illness was a consistent predictor of higher depression, 366 anxiety and stress, whereas better self-rated health was associated with better mental health.	./cache/cord-335549-fzusgbww.txt	./txt/cord-335549-fzusgbww.txt
