Research Project

COVID-19 Impacts on Undergraduate Education

The purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of online learning during COVID-19 on mental health in Undergraduate students in Florida. This study will have a cross-sectional survey research design. Participants will be recruited through Listservs, email blasts, and social media. Three validated measures, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) Scale, 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, and PROMIS Depression 8b Short Form will be used to assess anxiety, depression, and stress in the participants. Our aims for this study are to (1) examine how the shift to online learning during COVID-19 has affected the mental health of university students in Florida and (2) evaluate differences between mental health in students who are taking only online classes versus students taking some in-person classes.
