Objectives: To identify potential associations between student characteristics and mental health symptoms during the early parts of the pandemic.

Article Synopsis
- Reports of anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) hate have surged in the U.S. since the COVID-19 pandemic began, prompting an examination of stigma experiences among AAPI college students.
- The research aimed to identify if AAPI students faced greater racial discrimination and to find factors that could help reduce this stigma compared to other student groups.
- Findings indicated that AAPI students reported significantly higher levels of enacted and anticipated stigma, being over twice as likely to face these issues compared to non-Hispanic White students, with additional links between different stigma types experienced.
