Author(s): Sabrina Williamson*, Laura Packel, Lauren Hunter, Shelleyn Facente, Mariah De Zuzuarregui, Yi Li, Maya Peterson and Arthurr Reingold
Objectives: To evaluate baseline and longitudinal mental health indicators and predictors among university student
participants of the COVID-19 Safe Campus Initiative (CSCI) - a prospective cohort study from summer 2020. We
hypothesized there to be a longitudinal change in mental health over the course of the study and for suspected
predictors to be associated with these changes.
Methods: A survey was administered to university students living near the campus at baseline and end line to
evaluate mental health indicators (anxiety and depression) and predictors. Univariate logistic regression analyses
were completed to find longitudinal and baseline associations between mental health status and predictors.
Results: Baseline surveys were completed by 2409 students, including 782 undergraduate students .. View More»
