COVID-19 Risks Across the Lifespan (CORAL)
The CORAL study investigated how the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic affected people’s well-being, social connectedness, and mental abilities. The cohort included around 3,200 individuals aged 11 years or older living in Australia, the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA), and participants aged 11 to 24 years living in India. Participants were assessed at baseline in 2020 and followed up after 3 and 6 months during the COVID-19 pandemic.
