The columns represent worsening mental health outcomes during the pandemic. Binomial regressions with DV (worsened during pandemic, improved/not changed/changed unrelated to the pandemic). The dependent variables were dichotomized into worsened greatly/partly vs. no change, improved, or changed, independent of the pandemic. The independent variables were dichotomized as follows: worse economy, worse living situation, and drinking more alcohol (worsened during the pandemic compared to before vs. no change/an improvement/a change unrelated to the pandemic) and difficulty following restrictions (difficult/very difficult vs. very easy/easy/neither easy nor difficult). Significant factors are highlighted in bold.
