Though medicolegal death investigation (MDI) systems are generally associated with criminal justice, they serve an integral role in the realm of public health and safety.

Abstract Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted multiple facets of daily living: personal finances, physical activity, and mental and physical health. These changes can result in additional stress and negatively affect sleep. It is important for sleep medicine providers to understand how their patients are impacted by these changes to optimize their care. In this study, we evaluated the association of poor sleep with stress, anxiety, emotional support, social isolation, and depression among sleep medicine clinic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
