Students 2022: Self-Assessment of Vulnerability to COVID, ISBN

This study also gives highly detailed info on the percentage of students
who have been diagnosed with COVID, and on how long and to what extent
students feel that COVID will be impacting their life. This 86-page report
also presents hundreds of tables of data and commentary about how a
representative sample of 1050+ full time students at 4-year American
colleges view their vulnerability to COVID.   The study presents highly
detailed data on the percentage of students living with an unvaccinated
individual, with the level of fear or concern of the student that they will
get COVID themselves or pass it on to others. It also presents detailed
info on the percentage of students who feel that they have a health
condition that may make them more vulnerable than the average student to
COVID.

Data in the report is broken out by more than 20 personal and institutional
variables, so, for example, readers can get specific data on COVID
infection rates for first year students vs. juniors or seniors, or for
students in level 1 research universities vs. doctoral institutions, or for
male vs. female or vs. transgender students, or for business/economics
majors vs fine arts majors, etc., etc.

Breakouts include age, year of school standing, major or intended major,
religion, gender, sexual orientation, income level, SAT/ACT scores, college
grades, regional origins, race/ethnicity, level of school tuition, size of
school of institution attended and many other variables. This is a critical
resource for policy makers in government and in universities and colleges
as well as a unique data source for social scientists and other studying
higher education and public health.

Just a few of the report’s main findings are that:

17.32% of students who grew up in rural areas felt that they had a health
condition that made them more susceptible than most college students to
COVID.

Female students were twice as likely as male ones to feel that they had a
health condition that made them more susceptible to COVID.

More than 55% of students who describe themselves as “very left wing”
politically were very often or often afraid of infecting others with COVID.

26.65% of respondents said that they currently lived with someone who was
not fully vaccinated against COVID.

Asian American students were much less likely than those of other
ethnicities to currently live with an unvaccinated individual.

27.55% of students at public colleges in the sample had ever been diagnosed
with COVID.

Politically conservative students were much more likely than politically
liberal students to feel that the COVID pandemic would end soon.
