Behavioral health providers are at the forefront providing services and are thus vulnerable to psychological sequalae. This study hypothesizes that the fear of COVID-19 predicts depression and anxiety among these providers.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1935789324000983_sec2\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n\t    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>A questionnaire was delivered to community behavioral health providers to assess fear of COVID-19 using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S). Anxiety and depression were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-2) scale and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2). Demographic data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the relationship between explanatory variables and outcomes was assessed using univariate generalized linear models and 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1935789324000983_sec3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>FCV-19S scores were significantly higher among persons who smoked (<jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic> = 2.4, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05) or had a predisposing health condition.
