Because of COVID-19 sanitary crisis, stress factors are increased, and that may cause anxiety, exhaustion, psychic distress, depression, addictions, or post traumatic stress.

The two questionnaires contain the Perceived Stress Scale, as well as items regarding socio-demographic data and stress factors.
