The physical health threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the socioeconomic impact, have induced high levels of anxiety and other forms of psychological distress. This project examines who is at risk for COVID-19 -related symptoms and psychological problems during and in the aftermath of the epidemic. Building on data collected just before the COVID-19 outbreak, this project identifes psychosocial risk factors for: 1) subsequent COVID related symptoms; and 2) psychological problems (health- and COVID-specific anxiety) and health behaviors.
