Summary
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has widely and rapidly spread around the world, overwhelming intensive care units and health care capacity. While the physical risk (e.g. pneumonia, respiratory breakdown) is getting the most scientific and clinical attention, this outbreak also has significant mental health risks and extreme psychological fear-related responses. Among the general population, there are high-risk groups as elderly people, disabled individuals and people with previous exposure to trauma (e.g., people with military experience). Veterans are among the subgroups who are high risk for PTSD and other mental health problem. The overarching goal of this study is to examine the efficacy of an online, largescale, brief video-based intervention in reducing fear and stress and improving help seeking behavior in relate to COVID-19.
