Internet-based Students HeAlth Research Enterprise (i-Share)
The i-Share study is a longitudinal cohort containing over 20,000 university students from French-speaking universities and aims to evaluate important health issues in young adults through an annual follow-up for at least 10 years. The project began within the primary institutions of the study but was further extended to all universities and higher education institutes in France on a voluntary basis. Inclusion criteria in i-Share were to understand written French, to be 18 years old or older, and to be currently enrolled in a higher education program at inclusion.
