| Abstract: | This thesis examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on substance use among students at the University of Twente. The research aims to understand how the pandemic influenced the consumption of various substances by comparing usage patterns before, during, and after the COVID-19 lockdown periods. The study involved surveying students about their substance use, focusing on the types and quantities of substances consumed across the three different time frames. In addition to substance use patterns, the research considers other influential factors such as restrictions, opportunities, and driving forces that could affect substance consumption. These factors were analyzed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the changes in behavior during the pandemic. The results of the study are expected to provide valuable insights into the relationship between pandemic measures and substance use among university students, as well as identify potential interventions and preventive strategies to support students during this challenging time. The findings of this study have the potential to inform university and public health policies, as well as inform the development of future research in this area. Overall, this research proposal seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on substance use and to support university students in maintaining their well-being during this unprecedented time |
