Abstract in brief

The study investigates how intolerance of uncertainty and coping strategies affect mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding that increased uncertainty and maladaptive coping are linked to higher levels of distress, especially among vulnerable groups.
About a quarter of participants showed significant anxiety and depression, with some experiencing clinical-level health anxiety; vulnerable groups were notably more anxious about their health.
The research suggests that targeting maladaptive coping responses and uncertainty tolerance could help improve mental health interventions during ongoing health crises like COVID-19.
