Cross-country dataset C19 ISWS

As a large international consortium of 26 countries and 133 higher-education institutions (HEIs), we successfully developed
and executed an online student survey during or directly after the initial peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19
International Student Well-being Study (C19 ISWS) is a cross-sectional multicountry study that collected data on highereducation
students during the COVID-19 outbreak in the spring of 2020. The dataset allows description of: (1) living
conditions, financial conditions, and academic workload before and during the COVID-19 outbreak; (2) the current level of
mental well-being and effects on healthy lifestyles; (3) perceived stressors; (4) resources (e.g., social support and economic
capital); (5) knowledge related to COVID-19; and (6) attitudes toward COVID-19 measures implemented by the government
and relevant HEI. The dataset additionally includes information about COVID-19 measures taken by the government and
HEI that were in place during the period of data collection. The collected data provide a comprehensive and comparative
dataset on student well-being.
