What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the mental health of employees at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. By gathering information through online questionnaires (referred to as Questionnaire Administration), researchers hope to identify any psychological stress or mental health issues that have emerged. The insights gained could help create better support systems for employees' mental well-being. MD Anderson employees are invited to participate in this study. As an unphased study, this research offers employees the opportunity to contribute to improving mental health support systems.
Do I need to stop taking my current medications to join the trial?

Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it aims to understand the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers, specifically those at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Unlike traditional treatments that address physical health conditions, this study focuses on mental and emotional well-being by using online questionnaires. By collecting data at two different time points, researchers hope to gain insights into how the pandemic has affected the workforce over time, potentially leading to better support systems and interventions for healthcare professionals.
