The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has worsened the physical and mental health of the general population. Healthcare workers have a high risk of suffering a mental disorder after the first wave. In this way, psychologists, who deal with mental health issues and are considered as healthcare workers in many countries, are of interest in this context. The present study aimed to examine anxiety, depression, stress, and obsessions and compulsions across psychologists, healthcare professionals, and the general community. These variables were measured through the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), as well as the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS), which are related to different sociodemographic variables. The study was carried out after the first wave in Spain through an online questionnaire. Structural equation modeling and a multigroup analysis were carried out across the groups and variables under study. The results suggested that; (i) healthcare workers and general community depicted similar results in anxiety and stress, as well as obsessions; (ii) the group of psychologists depicted better scores than the other groups under study; (iii) stress and anxiety did not predict compulsions in the group of psychologists; (iv) anxiety predicted obsessions for all the professions, while the relationship of this variable with stress was different for each group; and (v) invariance reached a full metric level.

En España, las sustancias adictivas están presentes en casi uno de cada dos fallecidos en accidentes de tráfico. Diversas instituciones realizan estrategias donde la comunicación es una potente herramienta para situar el problema en la agenda pública. La investigación analiza la gestión de la comunicación y relaciones públicas de dichas organizaciones para prevenir el consumo de drogas en materia de seguridad vial. La metodología aplicada son entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis de contenido. Los principales resultados apuntan la falta de programas integrales con diferentes stakeholder, el predominio de campañas puntuales con modelo unidireccional donde falta evaluación e interacción con los públicos. / Drugs are found in almost 50% of victims killed in traffic accidents in Spain. Various public bodies have implemented communication campaigns to increase public awareness of the problem. We analysed the management of communication and public relations of these organisations to prevent drug use and promote road safety. We used a methodology based on semi-structured interviews and content analysis. The main results point to a lack of integrated programmes with all stakeholders and a predominance of isolated unidirectional campaigns without assessment or interaction with the general public.
