Long-Lasting Biobehavioral Effects of the COVID Pandemic on College Students

Nina Wiggins

College students have faced a rollercoaster of change in their academic and personal life post-pandemic. Biobehavioral effects of chronic stress associated with the aftermath of the pandemic were examined in four-year U.S. college students in a confidential, online survey. Students reported shifts in their academic priorities following the pandemic as well as more academic stress. Chronic stress was associated with poor mental and physical health outcomes. Implications of the findings will be discussed.
