Note. N = count, M = mean, SD = standard deviation. Vocational education and training were only included in the German and Swiss sample. Such education is very common in these countries and would roughly correspond to an educational level of a bachelor’s degree in the USA or UK in terms of socioeconomic status. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Phq-9 [6] and has a cut-off value for clinical relevance of 10. Adjustment disorder symptoms were measured with the ADNM [4] and has a cut-off value of 19. Fear of COVID-19 was measured with the FCV-19S [8] and shows a cut-off score of 17 [52].
