Key Points

There has been a rise in mental health effects since the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak.
Participants who completed the survey, such as those with lower incomes, young people ages 18-29, and women are more likely to face higher levels of distress than other groups.
These levels include a higher rate of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and trouble sleeping.
Furthermore, about 32% or one-third of the participants in this survey perceived this outbreak to be a threat to their personal health and fell into the high distress category.

Data Source

People in the U.S. were surveyed using an online survey panel to measure their psychological distress.

Data analysts administered web surveys and also provided the participants who did not have internet access at home with a tablet and a wireless connection.
From the data drawn, 11,537 panelists out of 15,433 responded which means that this survey had a 75% response rate.
The margin of error for the entirety of this sample is plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.
