- Abstract:
- As of February 2021, more than 1.4 million New Yorkers have been infected by the coronavirus and more than 43,000 have died from COVID-19.1 The devastating impact of the pandemic on the health of New Yorkers extends far beyond these already staggering numbers. In particular, the pandemic has taken a significant toll on the mental health of New Yorkers. This report reviews survey data related to mental health in New York State during the coronavirus pandemic. It presents self-reported symptoms of anxiety and depression by race and ethnicity, age, and household income, and compares symptoms among New Yorkers who did and did not experience a loss in household employment income during the pandemic. Data in this report come from the COVID-19 Household Pulse Survey, an experimental data product designed by the U.S. Census Bureau in collaboration with multiple federal agencies. The phases of the survey analyzed provided near real-time data on household experiences during the coronavirus pandemic from April 23, 2020, until October 26, 2020. See Methods for more details on the survey and how rates were developed for this report.
