University student wellbeing during COVID-19: associations with infection prevalence and social gathering restrictions in an observational study
Our findings highlight the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university student wellbeing and suggest that COVID-19 infection prevalence and associated social isolation measures may have uniquely influenced different aspects of wellbeing. More research is needed to assess causality, while accounting for other potential socio-economic and academic factors.
