Knowledge is power: Learning more about COVID-19 can reduce your pandemic stress.

A new study from North Carolina State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology finds that the more people know about COVID-19, the less pandemic-related stress they have. The study also found that making plans to reduce stress was also effective for older adults – but not for adults in their 40s or younger.

“COVID-19 is a new disease – it’s not something that people worried about before,” says Shevaun Neupert, a professor of psychology at NC State and co-author of the study. “So we wanted to see how people were responding to, and coping with, this new source of stress.”
