Abstract (English): COVID‐19 has caused enormous economic and social disruptions that may have lasting effects on employment, income, and working conditions. Critically, these disruptions often have a negative impact on mental health. While significant research has examined the relationship between COVID‐19 and mental health, most of these studies focus on urban centres. This paper presents results from a pilot study conducted in two rural counties in Ontario, Canada on the experiences of residents from small and rural communities related to COVID‐19. Based on 3496 survey results, this study quantifies the negative impact of COVID‐19 on overall mental health and the confounding role of gender, income, and age. Results must be used to expand the dialogue around rural mental health and to ensure appropriate programs and policies are developed. Key messages: COVID‐19 has had variable and significant impacts on residents in rural communities.Gender is a key characteristic, as self‐identifying females have experienced a greater decrease in self‐assessed mental health since the start of the pandemic.Governments must consider the "lived reality" that residents experience when they design and implement response plans; a one‐size‐fits‐all response to disruption is not sufficient.

Abstract (French): Résumé: La COVID‐19 a provoqué d'énormes perturbations économiques et sociales qui peuvent avoir des effets durables sur l'emploi, le revenu et les conditions de travail. Ces perturbations ont souvent un impact négatif important sur la santé mentale. Bien que des études significatives aient examiné la relation entre la COVID‐19 et la santé mentale, la plupart de ces études se concentrent sur les centres urbains. Cet article présente les résultats d'un projet pilote de recherche mené dans deux comtés ruraux de l'Ontario, sur le thème des expériences des résidents de petites communautés en rapport à la COVID‐19. Basée sur 3496 résultats de sondages, cette étude quantifie l'impact défavorable de la COVID‐19 sur la santé mentale globale et le rôle complexe du genre, du revenu et de l'âge. Ces résultats doivent être utilisés pour élargir le dialogue autour de la santé mentale en milieu rural et de la nécessité de veiller à l'élaboration de programmes et de politiques publiques appropriés.
