    Document: This is a timely and comprehensive rapid review of the current literature on the impact of infectious disease outbreaks on the mental health of HCWs. We examined three relevant areas, namely the prevalence of mental health problems, factors associated with an increased likelihood of developing those problems, and the effects of interventions to improve mental health of HCWs. We followed the highest methodological standards when undertaking the current rapid review, 10 and we used the GRADE approach to evaluate the certainty of the evidence, in order to facilitate evidence-informed decision making processes. Our review team is also a strength, as it included experts in evidence synthesis, Cochrane authors, members of the GRADE Working Group, physicians, nurses, editors, psychologists, and psychiatrists. There were also some limitations underlying this work. Despite searching three major databases and manually searching references of previously published systematic reviews, we did not examine gray literature; hence, we cannot discard that relevant references may have been missed out.
