Abstract
This cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the major causes of anxiety among adolescents after reopening of schools in India. The sample was collected from 243 adolescents. The data was analyzed using stepwise regression analysis in which respondents identified family health, increase in the number of covid cases, proper sanitisation and eating meals in schools, as the major causes for their covid pandemic and school reopening related anxiety. The other factors such as meeting face to face with teachers and peers and catching of covid infection in schools were also seen as significant causes for anxiety in few respondents.
