- Populations with a migration background and lower educational/occupational groups were more vulnerable to negative changes related to mental health, income, healthy behavior (i.e. diet, tobacco, alcohol use) and access to non-COVID-19 healthcare during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. These populations were also at increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 outcomes…
- Learn more about the development and implementation of a guideline for neck pain and headache that focuses on exercise and physiotherapeutic care.
- COVID-19 measures, such as lockdowns, reduced the spread of non-COVID respiratory infections, which are linked to the development of neurological autoimmune diseases like narcolepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. LUMC, Amsterdam UMC, and Sleep-Wake Center SEIN will investigate whether COVID-19 measures reduced the number of new autoimmune disease cases. The societal effects of…
- 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…

Implementation of lockdowns and social distancing measures led to unhealthier lifestyles for children and mental struggles for parents. While many…
- Investigations into Aspergillus fumigatus and the treatment are underway both nationally and internationally and will lead to advisory reports. This project will organize a stakeholder meeting to further results.
- There is ongoing policy discussion and public debate about the net effects of the non-medical interventions (NMIs) that were put in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. These measures were implemented to control the pandemic and may have produced unanticipated negative health effects, especially during lockdown times when the “stay-at-home order” (SHOs) were in place for non-essential workers…
- Learn more about the development and implementation of a guideline osteoporosis and fall prevention that focuses on physiotherapy and exercise therapy.
- This project is a continuation of the CIAO project, focusing on appropriate measures to prevent and control outbreaks of COVID-19 and Influenza in nursing homes. The CIAO project started in November 2022 and was completed in August 2024. The current project focuses on the dissemination and implementation of the CIAO project findings.
- 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…
