COVID-19 Well-Being Study

The Stanford WELL for Life team is investigating the effect of COVID-19 and the Shelter-in-Place order on emotions, distress, and well-being. We are surveying existing Stanford WELL for Life participants (~1,200) with multiple surveys measuring distress, anxiety, concerns about COVID-19, experience with Shelter-in-Place, and multiple dimensions of well-being.

This project is a longitudinal study surveying participants at six time points over the next 12 months, which will enable the evaluation of the short- and long-term effects of COVID-19 quarantine and social distancing on emotions, social connectedness and physical health. The COVID-19 WELL Study was launched on March 23, 2020 and data collection will close on March 23, 2021. 

Our surveys include: COVID-19 related questions, Shelter-in-Place related questions, anxiety, physical problems, distress, emotions, and Stanford WELL for Life Survey (76 questions to include 10 domains of well-being: social connectedness, lifestyle behaviors, stress and resilience, emotions and mental health, physical health, purpose and meaning in life, sense of self, financial security, spirituality and religiosity and exploration and creativity).
