Healthy Student Life

Our Healthy Student Life research group focuses on well-being, stressors, health behaviour, and student success, including topics like study and achievement pressure, substance use, physical (in)activity, social safety, study-life balance and social support. We aim to support healthy student lives, improve student well-being and contribute to a successful and meaningful study period.

Research

By means of a longitudinal questionnaire study, we aim to map the complex interrelated network of the topics above and provide concrete recommendations that can be used to positively influence student well-being at Radboud University.
