 \n\nAbstract \n\nIncreasing gender differences in mental health following 
 the COVID-19 crisis represent a major public health concern. Pandemic miti
 gation public health measures could severely impact populations with a hig
 h prevalence of mental health problems such as graduate students. \n\nWe d
 ocument the gendered experience of the lockdown and its association with d
 epressive symptoms among graduate students in Quebec. We examine whether i
 nequalities in depressive symptoms between women and men are linked to the
 ir differential exposure or their vulnerability to work\, family and study
  conditions\, and what is the mediating role of work-to-family interferenc
 e (WIF) and family-to-work interference (FIW). \n\nThis observational stud
 y used path analysis to test our hypotheses using a cross-sectional data c
 ollected from 1\,790 graduate students from three universities in Quebec. 
 The exposure hypothesis received more support. Women reported more stress 
 regarding new teaching methods\, which was associated directly with more d
 epressive symptoms\, and indirectly through WIF. Women were more worried a
 bout COVID-19\, which was associated with more depressive symptoms\, and i
 ndirectly through WIF and FIW. However\, women reported less FIW and more 
 emotional support\, both respectively associated with less depressive symp
 toms. The policy measures taken after the COVID-19 were not gender-neutral
 . This study demonstrates the importance of taking the potentially gendere
 d effects of policies into consideration\, and points to mitigating action
 s that can forestall the exacerbation of gendered inequalities in mental h
 ealth. \n\nThe speaker\n\nProfessor Amélie Quesnel-Vallée holds the Canada
  Research Chair in Policies and Health Inequalities at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø\,
  where she is jointly appointed across the faculties of Arts (Sociology) a
 nd Medicine (Epidemiology). She is the founding Director of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøObs
 ervatory on Health and Social Services Reforms. Her research examines the 
 contribution of policies to social inequalities in health over the life co
 urse. It appeared in journals such as The Lancet\, the International Journ
 al of Epidemiology\, and Social Science & Medicine and was recognized thro
 ugh several international professional associations’ awards\, including fr
 om the American Sociological Association\, the Population Association of A
 merica\, and the American Public Health Association. Committed to furtheri
 ng public understanding of science\, she is frequently sought by the media
  such as National Public Radio\, the New York Times\, and Business Week.
