A new survey conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic found a more than threefold increase in the percentage of U.S. adults who reported symptoms of psychological distress — from 3.9 percent in 2018 to 13.6 percent in April 2020.
The survey, conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, found that young adults ages 18 to 29, adults across all ages in low-income households, and Hispanics expressed the highest psychological distress.
