在美国一所大型大学对18-25岁的本科生（n = 777）进行了一项调查，以评估COVID-19大流行期间酒精消费的变化以及与焦虑和抑郁症状严重程度的相关性，分别通过GAD-7和PHQ-9进行评估。53%的人经历过焦虑，57%的人经历过抑郁，46%的人在2020年秋季的过去两周内经历过这两种情况。从2020年2月到10月，酒精消费量增加了54%（p < .01），其中最明显的是患有严重焦虑症（86%），严重抑郁症（180%）或两者兼而有之（83%）的学生。在COVID-19期间，学生的抑郁严重程度与酒精消费量的最大增长相关。
A survey of undergraduate students 18-25 years of age (n = 777) was conducted at a large U.S. University to assess changes in alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic and associations with anxiety and depression symptom severity assessed via the GAD-7 and PHQ-9, respectively. Fifty-three percent experienced anxiety, 57% experienced depression, and 46% experienced both in the past two weeks in fall 2020. Alcohol consumption increased 54% from February to October 2020 (p < .01), most pronouncedly in students with severe anxiety (86%), severe depression (180%), or both (83%). Depression severity was associated with the largest increases in alcohol consumption during COVID-19 in students.
