Core Tip	We investigated the relationship between social anxiety disorder (SAD) and ethnicity, as well as its association with depression and alcohol and drug abuse, among South African students. High levels of social anxiety were present and were significantly associated with major depression but not with drug or alcohol abuse. Ethnicity was found to independently influence social anxiety symptomatology, suggesting that it is an important factor in student interactions in this context. These results contribute to the extant literature by demonstrating that different risk factors may be uniquely associated with SAD for different ethnic/racial groups, and require further exploration given South Africa’s historical context.
