Results of The Covid-19 pandemic and mental health of first-year college students: Examining the effect of Covid-19 stressors using longitudinal data
Though the longitudinal timeline is quite short, only spanning a couple months between data collection waves, the results found were significant. Four main results from the data analysis are
- Work reductions had no correlations with increases in moderate-severe anxiety or depression except in students that presented moderate-severe anxiety symptoms before the beginning of the pandemic. These symptoms were increased when work reductions were experienced.
- Students who had difficulties with distance learning “experienced higher rates of moderate-severe anxiety and depression.”
- There is no correlation between covid-19 related health problems and hospitalizations with a significant increase in symptoms of anxiety or depression
- Social isolation “significantly and profoundly influenced the risk of moderate-severe anxiety and depression even after controlling for perceptions of social isolation prior to the pandemic”
