Fig 2. State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and BDI scores differ pre- and mid-pandemic.

A). STAI scores increased from pre- to mid-pandemic, (t (21) = -3.077, p = 0.006), with individuals being 4 times more likely to be anxious during mid-pandemic than during pre-pandemic (OR = 4.08, 95% CI: 1.11–15.02, Z = 2.12, p = 0.034). B) BDI scores increased from pre- to mid-pandemic (Z = -2.702, p = 0.007).
