| Analysis Plan Title | Sex and Gender Impact Mental and Emotional Well-Being during COVID-19 |
| Analysis Plan Description | The relationship between the biological sex and emotions and behavior during the pandemic as well as adhering to safety measures will be assessed with a logistic regression model. Next the relationship between gender-related variables and the emotions and mental health will be assessed in the general, female and male cohorts with logistic regressions. The outcomes of interest are the emotions and mental health, more specifically: “feeling nervous, anxious and worried”, feeling sad, depressed and hopeless”, “feeling irritable, frustrated and angry”, “feeling lonely and isolated”, having more physical fights and arguments with family members and working more during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the analyses, we will transform the outcome variables into binominal variables. The response ‘extremely’ and ‘somewhat likely’ where defined as a positive response. ‘Unlikely’ or ‘very unlikely’ will be defined as a negative response concerning the question. Logistic regression models will be computed respectively for every emotion as outcome variable and with main effects of biological sex, educational level, work status, income level and number of children in the household. These models will be adjusted for age. |
