this seems right. The problems I have about the survey is it only asked student atheletes and not all students so we cant conclude that it is just a student athelete problem. Also, in this story about the survey https://www.wsaw.com/2020/06/30/wiaa-university-of-wisconsin-study-shows-depression-is-up-among-wisconsin-high-school-athletes/ a quote from Mr McGuine there are alot of "could be's" they just don't know....
STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAW) -The WIAA’s research with the University of Wisconsin discovered that 33 percent of high school athletes are showing symptoms of depression. That’s 3.5 times more than what the historical data shows.
“It could be school closures,” University of Wisconsin senior scientist Tim McGuine said. “It could be cancelations. It could be as somebody said the economic uncertainty we’re facing right now.”
Dr. Tim McGuine said that sports being canceled isn’t necessarily the only reason depression and anxiety have increased.
“Teasing that out would be difficult,” McGuine said. “This is a snapshot of those athletes as we know and what we could control for.”
