Popis: This commentary aims to provide a glimpse into some of the early and continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global and public health projects with different particularities: research in low-income and socially disadvantaged settings;research with vulnerable populations, such as refugees, asylum seekers, Indigenous communities, children, and mental health service users;and research with healthcare professionals and health planners In the early context of restrictions caused by COVID-19, this commentary highlights our research setbacks and challenges, and the ways in which we are adapting research methodologies, while considering ethical implications related to the pandemic and their impacts on conducting global and public health research As we learn to become increasingly aware of some of our limitations in the face of the pandemic, some positives are also worth highlighting: we are mobilizing our training and research skills to participate in COVID-19 projects and to disseminate knowledge on COVID-19, including through papers such as this one However, we do acknowledge that these opportunities have not been equitable Each thematic section of this commentary concludes with key recommendations related to research in the early and continuing context of COVID-19 that we believe to be applicable to early- and not-so-early- career researchers working in the global and public health fields
