A study published in <i>Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research</i> identified social distancing as a stressor linked with mental distress for both Black and White college students, whereas financial issues were associated with mental distress in White students, and contracting COVID-19 was linked to mental distress in Black students.</p>\u0000<p>The study examined whether mental distress may be a link between pandemic-specific stressors and student drinking behaviors and whether that link differs by race. Researchers surveyed four hundred college students from October to December 2020 about whether they experienced any of nine pandemic-related stressors. They were also asked about changes in drinking quantity and frequency and assessed for symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and alcohol use over the past month.</p>\u0000<p>Half of the participants experienced financial stressors. Twenty to 30 percent reported each of five other factors due to the pandemic: job loss, taking care of someone, change to telework, being an essential worker, or a changed living situation. Overall, taking care of someone, financial stressors, and social distancing were associated with increased mental distress. In turn, mental distress was linked to increased quantity and frequency of drinking. Regardless of mental distress levels, students experiencing financial stressors were more likely to drink more and more often than they did pre-pandemic. Participants who started teleworking were more likely to report an increased quantity of drinking; participants taking care of someone drank more often.</p>\u0000<p>When examining differences across race, Black participants reported greater mental distress than White participants. Financial stressors were linked to greater mental distress among White students but not for Black students. For Black participants, being an essential worker was associated with lower levels of mental distress, while contracting COVID-19 was associated with greater mental distress; neither factor was significantly associated with mental distress for White participants. Social distancing was linked to greater mental distress for all students. Researchers found no significant differences between Black and White students in perceived changes in the quantity and frequency of drinking.</p>\u0000<p>Compared to their drinking patterns before the pandemic, about half of the participants reported no changes in the quantity or frequency of their drinking; twenty-seven percent reported drinking greater quantity, and 34 percent reported drinking more often.
