College students worldwide have faced unique stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the US, high rates of college students experienced unemployment, social and professional isolation, and an unprecedented number had to relocate back to their parents' home due to college campus closures. These activities - working, socializing, and transitioning to independence - are all essential to the mental wellbeing of college students. Consequently, disruptions have led to increased rates of depression and anxiety among this cohort.The central aspect of college students' lives is their education. Conventional in-person education was disrupted at most universities across the US, and the transition to online education posed major challenges to college students. For example, students had to secure a quiet place, suitable equipment, and a reliable internet connection on a regular basis in order to participate in class . Many students lacked access to such resources and were left behind. Even students who could resume their education remotely missed out on crucial aspects of college life such as networking, extracurriculars, and forming lasting relationships.Existing literature on the mental health crisis among college students before and during the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that there is a gap in understanding how these different experiences impacted college students. This gap is particularly salient for young adults, who were perceived to be "healthier" and at lower risk for COVID-19 complications but entered the pandemic with a pre-existing mental health crisis . Our study seeks to address this gap by analyzing a cross-sectional national dataset of US college students, aiming to test the following hypotheses:Hypothesis 1: College students who reported testing positive for COVID-19, losing a loved one to COVID-19, or experiencing increased financial hardship due to COVID-19 reported higher distress levels than students who did not report these experiences in Spring 2021.Hypothesis 2: College students who attended classes in a mixed format (online classes with an in-person component) reported lower distress levels than students who attended classes fully online in Spring 2021.Our primary outcome of interest is psychological distress, as measured by the Kessler Screening Scale for Psychological Distress (K6; 15). High scores on K6 are correlated with lower functioning and higher rates of substance use, other risky behaviors, and mental healthcare utilization. By investigating the relationship between pandemic-related stressors and psychological distress, this study will provide valuable insights into the experiences of college students and inform the development of targeted mental health interventions and policies.
