Validation of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale in a US College Sample.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted college students' coursework, stress levels, and perceived health. Various estimates indicate that high proportions of college students have experienced increased amounts of stress (Dziech, , 2020; Hartocollis, , 2020), yet other sources indicate that many college students respond to these changes with resilience (Kelley, , 2020). A method for assessing student anxiety regarding the pandemic is thus needed.
