Mean (SD) are shown. Significant differences (adjusted p values < 0.05, after Bonferroni’s correction) are indicated as follows: * = significantly different from Dutch participants, = significant difference between Western and non-Western migration background. Other differences (adjusted p-values < 0.05, applying a Bonferroni’s correction) are indicated as follows: a = significantly different from ‘before COVID-19’, b = significant difference from the ‘first lockdown’, c = significant difference from ‘summer 2020’.
