Following the multivariate model, we sought to better understand the lack of an association for COVID-19 related stressors by exploring endorsement of the stressor checklist by gender (Appendix A). Larger proportions of women than men had financial concerns and concerns about the pandemic’s impact on children (36.2% versus 28.6%, p = 0.01; and 30.4% versus 24.0%, p = 0.03, respectively). In contrast, a larger proportion of men than women were not stressed about the COVID-19 pandemic (33.1% versus 21.7%, p < 0.001). There were no other differences between women and men in levels of COVID-19 related stressors. Similarly, we explored responses to recovery capital items to better understand the consistently protective association (Appendix B). Among results, there was only one significant difference by gender; a larger proportion of men than women had enough energy to complete their tasks (77.7% versus 69.9%, p < 0.01). There were no differences between women and men in responses to other recovery capital items.
