Abstract
The physical health threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the socioeconomic impact and media coverage, have induced high levels of anxiety and other forms of psychological distress. Building on psychological and social data, collected just before the COVID-19 OUTBREAK, this project examines whether psychoscial factors : 1) increase the risk of subsequent COVID-19-related symptoms; and 2) increase the risk of subsequent psychological problems (health-related and COVID-specific anxiety) and adverse health behaviors during the epidemic and its aftermath.
