The proper mental health resources can be put into place for those who still find themselves affected by the Pandemic in terms of their mental health, overall emotional wellbeing, and ability to socialize with others.
Researchers will have more information and scientific data available to them for utilization to even further expand their knowledge of Pandemic impacts on people in addition to the lasting impacts Pandemics may have on people
More data and knowledge collected means more room for advancements to be made!
Young adults have faced disruptions in education, employment, and mental health due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Adolescents and young adults have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although they have not suffered significant morbidity or mortality, youth have experienced educational interruption, job loss, financial and housing instability, and feelings of isolation, all of which influence this critical period of growth and development” (Waselewski et. al., 2020).
Even after the Pandemic has ended, young adults are still dealing with the lasting impacts it's left upon people worldwide and within their communities.

Data shows that young adults have been more susceptible to COVID-19 infections, with a significant portion of cases attributed to this age group.
There are some limitations when it comes to past research
Although there are some limitations of past research, there still exists helpful sources for this topic!
The target audience of this project is mostly young adults who were high school and college-aged during the pandemic who feel as though it has had a long-lasting impact on both their livelihood and mentality.
This study will ideally help provide people who still suffer from Pandemic induced mental illnesses or dampening on their wellbeing to find scientifically supported techniques and methods to help alleviate some of their personal sufferings in addition to helping them become more socially comfortable or inclined like they were pre-pandemic.
To maintain validity and reliability, anonymous self-report questionnaires and surveys are the best methods
Proposed Research Question: Do young adults who’ve had large portions of their high school or college experience affected by Covid-19 believe that their experience has had a lasting impact on their mental and emotional wellbeing?
Other specific questions targeted in this project are:
Do young adults have lower thresholds for socializing and activity outside of their homes since the pandemic?
Is there a correlation between increased mental health struggles and isolation experienced during the pandemic?
How effective is “self-help/ self-care” techniques in combatting lingering Pandemic related mental illnesses?
My research design will consist of a correlational, qualitative approach to examine how the COVID-19 Pandemic has contributed to young adult's mental health and overall functioning since we are seeking to understand if there is a causal relationship
This research proposal will utilize surveys and questionnaires to gather data that will be analyzed to identify the relationship between the COVID-19 Pandemic and young adults’ decrease in mental health and overall wellbeing.
The survey will be created and administered through Qualtrics.
Ideally this research will help bring some of the following changes to light:
My research proposal can help provide new, important, and useful information regarding the Pandemic's lasting impacts. This information can then be utilized by psychologists or anyone that belongs to the field of psychology to find effective treatments and methods to alleviate some of the symptoms or residual mental health difficulties left by the Pandemic.

The pandemic has led to a rise in mental health issues among young adults, with increased rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness also reported.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, experts warned of its possible destructive impact on the general population's mental health and wellbeing. We can conclude that the virus outbreak has led to significant consequences in mental health in the affected populations (Min et. al., 2021, p. 4).
