The EQUALS4COVID19 project aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health and the physical, mental, and social well-being of the immigrant population in Portugal, and among young people, adults, and the elderly with Brazilian and Cape Verdean nationality residing in the districts of Lisbon, Faro, Porto, and Setúbal in particular. Individuals who were/were in quarantine or isolation, by infection or suspicion, will be included and several factors, from anxiety, depression, and resilience, to factors related to reconciliation between work and family, perceived social support, the situation in the face of work and financial income and expectations for the future will be considered.
Considering the population subgroups in terms of nationality, gender, age, and district under study, the study has the following specific objectives: 1. Identify modifiable factors of protection or weakening of mental health in a scenario context; 2. To characterize perceived access to health services and individual protection measures; 3. To draw up recommendations for the public policy of integration of immigrants and asylum seekers and good practices for the training of health professionals as privileged agents of the promotion of mental health and well-being with respect for individual and cultural diversity.
