Abstract	The COVID-19 pandemic can be understood through a trauma-informed lens, as the cumulative and chronic health, financial, and interpersonal stressors can be considered traumatic and may lead to long-term psychological distress. Unfortunately, this pandemic has greater impacts on marginalized populations, including those from racial and ethnic minorities, lower socioeconomic statuses (SES), and who are living with a disability. Students have been further impacted via disruption to educational experiences, which has been associated with increased distress. Moreover, there is minimal research on how COVID-19 has impacted students from marginalized populations, graduate students, and those studying to be mental health professionals. This longitudinal study examined how adverse events experienced during the pandemic have affected psychology graduate student psychological distress, with data collected at two time points during the first year of the pandemic, six months apart. The number of adverse events experienced was hypothesized to be positively correlated with psychological distress (as measured by the DASS-21). These effects were hypothesized to be moderated by race, disability status, and SES, with membership in these groups strengthening the predictive relationship between adverse events and distress. Variables were analyzed through an intersectional lens to highlight the dynamics inherent in multiply marginalized identities. Protective factors, such as adaptive coping skills and resiliency (as measured by the Brief Resilience Scale), were hypothesized to weaken the relationship between adverse events and distress. Limitations in recruitment and further directions for intersectional research are discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
