NCT05930652

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the needs of young adults - "policrisis generation", exposed to cumulative stress during 2020-2023, in terms of quality of mental health, the psychosocial resources, protective factors for cumulative stress effect, and the standards for effective prevention. The main questions to be answered are:

  • How does cumulative stress affect young adults?
  • Is there a specific cumulative stress syndrome that can be described?
  • What are the risk and the protective factors for cumulative stress?
  • How does the "policrisis generation" deal with the cumulative stress they have been exposed to? Participants will complete psychological questionnaires
