This project aims to administer and analyze newly gathered data from the KSU COVID-19 Wellness survey, which was initially administered in March 2020, immediately following campus closure because of the pandemic. The primary research question these researchers aim to answer is to what extent have changes in alcohol misuse and other drug use been sustained through the duration of the pandemic, and what are the long-term impacts on mental health?
