- The COVID-19 measures had a significant impact on daily life. The pandemic was accompanied by increased stress, loneliness, physical complaints, and deteriorating lifestyles. Previous studies have shown relationships between well-being and these factors, but the interactions, the pandemic’s influence, and the long-term effects remain insufficiently studied. By investigating these aspects and…
- The COVID-19 pandemic affected population segments in various ways. Using data from the Health Monitor COVID-19, we examine across different age groups (youth, young adults, adults and elderly) whether people who experienced high versus low negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic differ demographically. We then analyse associations between physical health, mental health and lifestyle by age and…
- Around 1 in 8 people in the Netherlands is affected by Long COVID, across all age groups. Young people and adults often experience symptoms differently. For young people, in a crucial life phase, the impact can be significant. This project explores differences and similarities in characteristics, health, and mental well-being between youth and adults, with and without Long COVID, to better…
- 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…

Little is known about the long-term effects on parents' mental health. While many parents may show resilience after the pandemic, others may experience long-term mental health problems, affecting both their…
- In previous research, we found a negative relation between stressful COVID-19 experiences, social media use, and authenticity in young people, but no gender differences. This follow-up study explores why, by examining whether personal factors (e.g., stress, loneliness, health) and social factors (e.g., support) affect the link between social media and authenticity differently for boys and girls…

- Read how the SHIELD-project strengthens natural defences through ‘trained immunity’, enabling the immune system to combat fungal infections more effectively.
- Read how the COMBAT-AMR project will develop a standardised toolbox specifically for designing antibiotic combination treatments.
- There are concerns about an increase in gambling problems among people with mild intellectual disabilities (MID). Social care professionals and addiction prevention workers are not always equipped to recognize and appropriately address gambling-related issues with people with MID. Collaboration and communication challenges hinder coherent and comprehensive care. ObjectiveThe aim of the project is…
- Many studies on the impact of COVID-19 on young people focus on problems like depressive symptoms. This project takes a broader view, examining both negative and positive aspects of mental health. We study how well-being, depressive symptoms, and resilience interact in youth before, during, and after the pandemic. Using data from large youth populations, we map mental health profiles, identify…
- Read how researchers will determine if the use of biocides has a selective effect on antimicrobial resistance.
