Abstract

This study aims to assess various stressful situations and the psychological effects of the first Covid-19 pandemic lockdown among young people in Switzerland. A first survey was carried out in 2020 (July-September) to assess the psychological effects of the 1st lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of the first study did not show any major psychological effects on children and adolescents. However, it is known from other studies that many more mental health problems emerged during the second wave. For these reasons, it would be valuable to repeat the survey again with the same children and adolescents. The 2nd survey will do this.
