Researchers collaborated with undergraduate minority students to quantitatively and qualitatively investigate college students' mental health during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participants were two convenience samples of diverse college students surveyed in June ( = 128; age = 21.7, = 1.7) and December ( = 242; age = 20.3, = 1.7) of 2020.
This study administered items from the California Health Interview Survey and open-ended qualitative items via Qualtrics.
Across both waves, students reported significant mental health challenges and psychological distress. Students surveyed in December were three to four times more likely to report depression and anxiety. Female and older students reported heightened odds of mental health challenges. Qualitative findings elaborated on contributing factors.
During the pandemic, college students have experienced pronounced mental health challenges, potentially exacerbated by academic, professional, relational, and environmental stressors and uncertainty.
研究人员与本科少数民族学生合作，对 COVID-19 大流行第一年大学生的心理健康进行定量和定性研究。
参与者是在 2020 年 6 月（n=128；年龄=21.7，SD=1.7）和 12 月（n=242；年龄=20.3，SD=1.7）通过便利抽样方法调查的不同大学生的两个随机样本。
本研究通过 Qualtrics 对加利福尼亚健康访谈调查的项目和开放式定性项目进行了管理。
在两个波次中，学生报告了明显的心理健康挑战和心理困扰。12 月接受调查的学生报告抑郁和焦虑的可能性是其他月份的三到四倍。女性和年龄较大的学生报告心理健康挑战的几率更高。定性研究结果详细阐述了促成因素。
在大流行期间，大学生经历了明显的心理健康挑战，学业、职业、人际关系和环境压力和不确定性可能使情况更加恶化。
