- There is insufficient knowledge on the impact of school closures during a pandemic. A school closure can have a major impact on students, and therefore influence society and the economy in the longer term. The PRESENT-consortium is therefore mapping the diverse effects of secondary and MBO school closures. This will allow us to better advise and make decisions during future pandemics.
- Pandemic-driven school closures produced unintended negative impacts such as parental stress. But are Dutch parents still navigating the stress years later after the school closures? By leveraging advanced statistical techniques and population-based longitudinal survey data, we seek to examine the medium-term causal effects of school closures on parents’ social, psychological, and mental health…
- Read how the SHIELD-project strengthens natural defences through ‘trained immunity’, enabling the immune system to combat fungal infections more effectively.
- Due to lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare was postponed and sectors were closed. People with existing health problems were particularly vulnerable to the consequences. In the long term, this may have lasting effects on their health and labour market position. Mitigating factors, such as a social network or remote care, may have reduced the impact of lockdown measures. Understanding…
- One of the most profound measures for the working population during the pandemic was the working from home measure, which advised workers to work from home. While millions of workers altered their work patterns, the impact of this sweeping shift is less clear due to a lack of longitudinal studies. Therefore, insights are needed in the medium-term effects of working from home and the identification…
- Now that online gambling is legalized in the Netherlands, young people are exposed to a lot of gambling advertisements. This may lead to an increasing number of young people developing gambling problems. Moti-4 is a program that has previously been successful in reducing other addictions, such as cannabis use and gaming.ObjectiveThe project aims to adapt Moti-4 for adolescents and young adults…
- With this new ZonMw-funded study (number 4), we will continue the systematic data collection we set up earlier. We will focus on parental stress in relation to COVID measures and potential trauma in children, for which we will conduct retrospective focus group interviews with parents and children. Lastly, we will examine the impact of digital (as opposed to face-to-face) therapeutic contacts on…
- In deze studie wordt onderzocht of patiënten met een aangeboren afweerstoornis na vaccinatie beschermd zijn tegen COVID-19. Patiënten met deze aangeboren stoornissen in het afweersysteem hebben een verhoogd risico op het krijgen van infecties en op een ernstiger beloop van infecties. Zij zijn daardoor mogelijk ook kwetsbaarder voor ernstig beloop van COVID-19. Het is daarom belangrijk dat zij…
- Training of physical fitness is an important component of orthopedic geriatric rehabilitation. Read more about the recommendations from Fit4Frail.
- GP practices were less easy to visit during COVID-19 and remote care was offered. The lockdowns also had short-term effects on dietary patterns and physical activity. This study examines the midterm effects on access to the GP and health behaviours of citizens in deprived areas and diabetes patients. It is a follow-up to the ZonMw project Effects of COVID-19 on GP visits by patients in deprived…
- People with an intellectual disability have fewer contacts with other people. They also feel lonely more often than others. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were measures that made contact with others and participation in activities more difficult. And even after the pandemic, it remained a challenge for people with ID to participate in activities again. Or to see other people. The question is…
- The transition from school to work is an important phase for the mental health of young adults. During the pandemic, many young people made this step during a challenging period. This project examines their first years in the labor market and the impact of mental health. We use data from the Health Monitor and Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Representatives of labor market entrants are involved in…
