The outbreak of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the measures taken in response have had a major impact on public health. For the next five years, this impact will be studied in the Integrated Health Monitor COVID-19. One of the studies conducted within this research programme is a literature review. In this study, the Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (Nivel) and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) are reviewing relevant national and international scientific literature about the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for the physical and mental health of young people in the Netherlands (aged 0 to 25 years).
