Understanding Stress in Adults During COVID-19

Background This dataset is one of the studies of the Corona Health project. It addresses how stress of adults during the global COVID-19 pandemic changed over time. It consists of two questionnaires, a baseline questionnaire and a follow up questionnaire. Both questionnaires include, when consent was given, location data and digital phenotyping metrics. The latter was limited only on Android devices.
