This is, to our knowledge, the largest study conducted on mental health of students during the pandemic. A significant proportion of students might require psychological support, especially because the high distress scores suggest that the epidemic and confinement have favored the emergence of post-traumatic stress symptoms. Three mental health scales, previously validated in French, were used to measure the level of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9 ≥ 10), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD-7 ≥ 7) and distress (Impact of Event Scale-Revised, IES-R ≥ 26). Conclusion: A significant proportion of students probably required psychological support during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially because the high distress scores suggest that the virus and the confinement have favored the emergence of post-traumatic stress symptoms 10 .	./cache/cord-274554-vtg6l651.txt	./txt/cord-274554-vtg6l651.txt
