Abstract

Measurement invariance of psychological distress does not hold for pre/post-COVID prevalence comparisons. We used network analysis and found that modeled systems differed (global structure, connectivity, and edges). Simulations revealed that while sadness was the most central node, nervousness and discouragement were better target choices for intervention and prevention.
