A cross-sectional survey was conducted with students attending the institution of the Brazilian Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education. The students answered a questionnaire on sociodemographic variables, situations related to the COVID-19 pandemic, behavioral habits, QoL, and depressive symptoms. The outcome variable was the presence of depressive symptoms, assessed using the Children\u2019s Depression Inventory (CDI). Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was performed. A total of 343 students participated in this study (women, 55.7%; mean age of 16.1 \u00b1 0.93 years). The prevalence of depressive symptoms among students was 43.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 38.0\u201349.0), and these symptoms were significantly associated with being female (prevalence ratio [PR] 1.72; 95% CI: 1.31\u20132.27); being in the 10th grade (PR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.18\u20132.76) and 9th grade (PR 2.08; 95% CI: 1.37\u20133.18); social isolation (PR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.00\u20134.14); hunger due to a lack of food at home (PR: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.33\u20132.39); low physical activity levels (PR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.09\u20132.59); and moderate (PR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.68\u20134.89) and low QoL (PR: 5.66; 95% CI: 3.48\u20139.19). The results emphasize the importance of interventions aimed mainly at female students and those in the initial years of high school, in addition to the importance of physical activity, food safety, and QoL to improve the mental health of students.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19063735","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]],"date-time":"2022-03-21T13:24:59Z","timestamp":1647869099000},"page":"3735","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Depressive Symptoms and Their Associated Factors in Vocational\u2013Technical School Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1613-9280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michele da Silva Valad\u00e3o","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiano, Goi\u00e1s 76300-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9523-1156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thays Martins Vital da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiano, Goi\u00e1s 76300-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Tri\u00e2ngulo Mineiro, Minas Gerais 38706-328, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3715-1956","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priscilla Rayanne e Silva","family":"Noll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiano, Goi\u00e1s 76300-000, Brazil"},{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo (Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo\u2014USP), S\u00e3o Paulo 01246-903, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9045-7826","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandre Aparecido de","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Tocantins, Tocantins 77950-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1482-0718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matias","family":"Noll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiano, Goi\u00e1s 76300-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e1s 74001-970, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, 5230 Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2020.11.117","article-title":"Prevalence of mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"281","author":"Wu","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
