"I am accustomed to a Women’s Day that is full of blossoms and gift cards, which has almost no connection with 'women.' I want to see more discussions and lectures on women’s issues, including women’s history, women in politics, or even the design of toilets and bathrooms. Let’s celebrate women’s history by talking more about women’s issues on NYU Shanghai’s campus."

NYU Shanghai's Center for Global Health Equity conducted a study estimating the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation among Shanghai residents during last year’s COVID-19 lockdown. The study, recently published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, a leading journal, sheds light on the mental health effects of the lockdown and the key correlates associated with the mental health burden among residents, including food insecurity.
"The study highlights the burden of mental disorders on the population and identifies young adults and migrants within the larger Shanghai community as the most affected," said Professor of Global Public Health Brian Hall, who led the study. "We aim to give voice to Shanghai residents through this paper, and help strengthen public health and mental health responses to emergencies like the pandemic."
