... = 0.043), indicating higher levels of symptoms and risk factors in younger participants. There were no statistically significant differences between males and females on the GPS item-by-item comparisons, except for anxiety (item 8) which was more frequently endorsed by females than males (see Table S3), and on the GPS Symptoms and Risk Factors sum scores (see Table S4). Similarly, there were no statistically significant differences in the GPS Symptoms and Risk Factors scores across other demographic categories (see Table S5). ...Context 2
... results presented in Table 3 show acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the GPS symptoms, risk factors, and domains. The Intra-Class Correlation Coefficients (ICC) showed a high level of agreement of the GPS Symptoms and domain sum scores in the initial and follow-up studies. ...Context 3
... results of the second model showed that the small change in the GPS Symptoms due to the COVID-19 related distress was produced by three out of 18 stressors related to COVID-19: a death of family member(s) or relative(s) affected by COVID-19, an income or job loss due to the pandemic, and an extra psychosocial burden of taking care of loved ones.
