A. van Bakel and colleagues report on a study that investigated whether the prevalence of parental burnout in 26 countries increased during COVID-19 compared to a few years prior to the pandemic. Based on a sample of East and Southeast Asian American high school students, in the second article, Ermis-Demirtas et al. (2022) investigated the relationship between mental health outcomes and online and in-person COVID-19–associated discrimination. In the third article, Flores and Rubin (2022) argue that psychology can play an important role in helping individuals comprehend their attitudes and shape their behaviors in response to COVID-19 and also support the effort to rebuild a more equitable society. Sagar S. Lad, Saajan Bhakta, and Veena Hira present a systematic review in the next article of the existing literature on the psychological impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the South Asian community in India. Amanda M. Mitchell, Hayley D. Seely, and Patrick Pösse wrote the fifth article (Mitchell et al., 2022).

In the final article, Khoury et al.
