• [Preprint, not peer-reviewed] An online survey in Delaware found significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression among undocumented college students (n=109) compared to the expected proportion based on a large national survey of mental health among college students in US during the COVID-19 pandemic (47% vs. 31% for anxiety; 63% vs 41% for depression, respectively). The authors conclude that the pandemic may be affecting the mental health of undocumented students to a greater degree than the general population of college students in the US.
