本研究详细介绍了2020年春季COVID-19大流行爆发前后社区大学生报告严重健康事件的流行情况。纽约市立大学最大的社区学院中有代表性的学生样本的调查回应强调了严重的健康挑战。调查结果表明，严重的健康挑战（包括疾病/受伤/残疾/心理健康）是预测2020年春季学期学生成绩的重要因素。然而，与大流行发生后发生的事件相比，大流行发生前发生的与健康相关的事件与病程结果的相关性明显更大。这表明，严重的健康问题可能是社区大学学生进步的主要障碍，即使在全球大流行的情况下也是如此，大流行可能只会加剧这一重大但往往被忽视的预先存在的问题。
This study details the prevalence of community college students’ reports of serious health events both before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020. Survey responses from a representative sample of students within the largest community college at the City University of New York highlighted serious health challenges. Findings indicated that serious health challenges (including illness/injury/disability/mental health) were a significant factor in predicting students’ outcomes during the spring 2020 term. However, health-related events that occurred prior to the onset of the pandemic had a substantially and significantly larger correlation with course outcomes than those that occurred after the onset of the pandemic. This suggests that serious health issues may be a major barrier to student progress at community colleges, even outside of the conditions of a global pandemic, and that the pandemic may have only exacerbated this significant but often overlooked preexisting issue.
