a

Post – pre pandemic onset using Welch's one-way ANOVA. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the change score is reported for each category of a variable. Positive “mean change” indicates increased stress. Both the original p-values and Benjamini-Hochberg multiple-testing adjusted p-values (q-value) are reported. All factors with p-values <0.05 are displayed in this table, see Supplemental Table A for the full list of factors that were tested and contributed to the multiple testing correction.

prior to pandemic

c

Other health care included health care sites other than the hospital and outpatient facilities

d
