这项研究收集了美国应对COVID-19大流行对美国大学生的物质使用,性行为和总体幸福感的影响的初步数据。来自美国各地大学的参与者(N = 212; 50.5%女性; M年龄= 22.09)在2020年5月20日至7月5日期间完成了一项关于COVID-19相关行为变化的在线调查。大多数学生报告生活质量下降(71.7%),焦虑程度增加(63.7%),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%)报告性活动减少,但获得和使用避孕套的情况基本保持不变。随着大学恢复住宿指导,现有的预防和干预服务将需要进行调整,以满足大学生在COVID-19时代的心理和行为健康需求。
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; M age = 22.09) completed an online survey between May 20(th) and July 5(th), 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.
