Data Analysis

To investigate the mental health of restaurant workers during the pandemic, the researchers examined multiple factors. A number of stress indices (SIs) were created based on participants’ responses and compared. The results were charted for convenient visualization and the compiled data was examined for correlations. These indices are discussed more deeply in the Conclusions section.
