Our next conversation is with Dr. Julia Dratva. The Corona pandemic is impacting all age groups and areas of society, irrespective of the risk of exposure or disease severity. University students were confronted with abrupt changes by the COVID-19 lock-down both in their personal and academic lives. The “Health in Students during the Corona pandemic” study (HES-C) investigated the impact on mental health and general and COVID-19 related health behaviors, concerns and views from the April 2020 to June 2021. The study covers three pandemic university semesters with a total of nine surveys. The surveys reached roughly 70% of the student population at the University of Applied Sciences Zürich at least once and provides both cross-sectional as well as longitudinal data on mental health outcomes across the pandemic among other outcomes. The talk will mainly focus on the mental health of students, but will also touch on other health related aspects during the pandemic.
