This research project aims at better understanding the consequences of this major, sudden, and society-wide shock on university students who, by definition, are at the doorstep of their professional life and need substantial cognitive resources to make the most of their university training. We investigate the following question: Does the anxiety generated by the Covid-19 pandemic affect the learning and decision-making capacities of students and, if yes, by how much and through which channels? We specifically test the impact of the negative labor-market and social consequences of the Covid-19 crisis on students’ cognitive abilities, confidence and locus of control, expectations, risk preferences, and mental health.
In order to uncover mechanisms and allow sharper recommendations about student support policies, our study is designed to quantify the relative importance of worries regarding future labor-market opportunities and the impairment of social life and network, test the role of the competitive pressure, and perform a variety of heterogeneity analyses to identify particularly vulnerable groups such as female, low economic background and depression-prone students.

The aim of this study was to describe the nutritional impact of COVID-19 infection on adult inpatients on the short- to mid-term (up to 30 days after hospital discharge), using food intake and weight measurements. It also aimed to identify factors associated with a decrease in food intake and weight.

Comparison of the results obtained by the molecular detection of SARS-CoV2 in the 2 types of samples: nasopharyngeal swab taken from the virological transport medium and salivary spit.

General objective: study social health inequalities in mental health and addictive behaviors in young adults, accounting for individual and family characteristics.
