Analyses were performed to examine the prevalence and predictors of anxiety. Results Findings showed a pooled prevalence of 24.3% (9.4%, 29.2%, 28.5%, and 16.5% respectively for Togo, Haiti, RDC, and Rwanda, x2=32.6, p Highlights - Little is known on the mental health impact of the COVID-19 in low- and middle-income countries - One out of four individuals in individuals in in low- and middle-income countries reported high level of anxiety - Exposure to COVID-19, stigmatization related to COVID-19 and resilience contributed in the prediction of anxiety - Cultural strength-based mental health programs need to be developed to reinforce individual and community resilience |
