To assess the impact of the Corona pandemic and related restrictions on going out on social participation, social inclusion and well-being in adults with and without current or chronic mental health problems METHODS: Follow-up survey (n = 132) using the Measure of Participation and Social Inclusion for Use in People with a Chronic Mental Disorder (F-INK), the Index for the Assessment of Health Impairments (IMET), and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18).
Results:
The impact on social participation capabilities and social participation differed depending on the participants' mental health status at the first assessment. Independent of this, we found no detrimental effect on the mental health status four weeks after the enactment of restrictions on going-out.
