摘要
This paper evaluates a randomized, over-the-phone counseling intervention aimed at mitigating the mental health impact of COVID - 19 on a sample of 2,402 women across 357 villages in Bangladesh. We find that the provision of two hours of mental support plus information on COVID-19 improves mental health ten months postintervention , leading to reductions of 20 percent in the prevalence of moderate and severe stress and 33 percent in depression. Our results suggest that this type of low-cost intervention ( $14 per person ) can be effective in providing rapid psychological support to vulnerable groups in times of crises.
