This study attempted to assess the factors associated with psychological morbidity in school students during the peritraumatic phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected data from 16,738 school students in India using a cross-sectional online-based survey tool. We carried out a binomial logistic regression to estimate the odds of the relationship that psychological morbidity had with independent variables. Results indicated that 4 in 10 school students had psychological morbidity. Those students in grades 1112 (OR = 1.3, 95% CI = 1.21.4), 1718 years of age (OR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.31.6), from a lower socio-economic status (family income of ?20,00130,000 per month) (OR = 1.0, 95% CI = 0.81.0) and a student (OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.93.4) or a family member of a student (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.41.8) with COVID-19 infection were associated with higher odds of psychological morbidity. The relationship psychological morbidity had with gender, mental well-being and resilient coping was revelatory. Targeted psychosocial interventions are required for high-risk school students to reduce age, grade and socio-economic disparities in COVID-19-related psychological morbidity. These findings have implications for mental health professionals, counsellors, psychologists, social workers and academicians associated with school students. 2025 SAGE Publications.
