Mental Health Status by Race, Ethnicity and Socioeconomic Status among Young Adults in Texas during COVID-19.

Background: Differences in symptoms of depression and anxiety by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) among a diverse cohort of young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic (Spring 2020-Fall 2021) have not been examined.
