This study gathered preliminary data on the impact of the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic on the substance use, sexual behavior, and general well-being of U.S. college students. Participants from colleges across the U.S. (N = 212; 50.5% female; age = 22.09) completed an online survey between May 20 and July 5, 2020 about COVID-19-related behavior change. Most students reported a decrease in quality of life (71.7%), an increase in levels of anxiety (63.7%), and problems with basic resource needs (53.8%). Reports of alcohol consumption increased for 26.9% of students and 15.1% reported an increase in cannabis use. Most students (57.5%) reported a decrease in sexual activity, yet access to, and use of, condoms generally remained unchanged. As universities resume residential instruction, existing prevention and intervention services will need to be adapted to address the mental and behavioral health needs of college students during the era of COVID-19.
本研究初步收集了美国应对 COVID-19 大流行对美国大学生物质使用、性行为和整体健康影响的数据。参与者来自美国各地的大学（N=212；50.5%为女性；年龄=22.09），于 2020 年 5 月 20 日至 7 月 5 日之间在线完成了一项关于 COVID-19 相关行为变化的调查。大多数学生报告生活质量下降（71.7%）、焦虑水平升高（63.7%）和基本资源需求问题（53.8%）。26.9%的学生报告饮酒量增加，15.1%的学生报告大麻使用量增加。大多数学生（57.5%）报告性行为减少，但避孕套的获取和使用基本保持不变。随着大学恢复住校教学，现有的预防和干预服务将需要进行调整，以满足 COVID-19 时代大学生的心理健康和行为健康需求。
