Call for abstracts.

The 7th ESSUS conference venue has been changed, now you have the possibility to participate online. For this event we invite you to share your student-related Covid-19 pandemic experience or the results of studies on lifestyle and behaviours in university students that you have carried out. More specifically, our interest will be on advanced and digital methods for investigating students’ health status or behaviours and interventions to maintain or improve students’ well-being.

Nowadays it is well known that in the curative medical practice, the orientation towards preventive, predictive, personalized, and participatory medicine gives better results than the previously practiced classical curative one. Students represent a young, apparently healthy, population, but conversely, they are exposed to the most new and diverse technologies, entailing new health challenges. Improvement in the case of preventive medicine for students is more complex and difficult.

This conference offers a great opportunity to discuss the future and most appropriate solutions to improve students’ well-being in the next years.

We invite participants to present their research on the above mentioned theme and its accompanying phenomena around the following conference subthemes:

  • Students’ health problems related to health behaviours and their possible solutions
  • Substance use by students: alcohol, tobacco, vaping, cannabis and others
    • Solutions for controlling substances abuse
  • Advanced methods for studying the students’ health behaviours
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the assessment of the health behaviours and health status
  • Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health and health behaviours among students
    • Solutions to reduce the impact of anti-pandemic measures
  • Current and alternative (new/future/ digital) methods for health promotion among students
  • (Future) Health promotion services for students
  • Other topics related to students’ behaviors and lifestyle
