The present study reported data from the COVID-19 Well-Being Study to illustrate the impact of COVID-19-related stressors and effects on depression among 719 students at three public colleges within an urban University System in the Northeastern region of the US. Modified Poisson regression analyses showed that students who knew someone who died from COVID-19, students who reported severe to moderate disruption due to COVID-19 in physical health, emotional well-being, or ability to afford food, and students who reported having two or more COVID-19 stressors or two or more COVID-19 effects had a higher prevalence of reported depression.
