The COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by government measures to restrict activity and social interaction, with negative consequences for the population’s psychological well-being. The objective of this study was to examine, in the context of lockdown, the relationships of the participant’s living space (size of house/number of residents) and their level of education with their psychological well-being, as well as the mediating role of resilience in these relationships.

Epidemiology has recently witnessed great advances based on computational models. Its scope and impact are getting wider thanks to the new data sources feeding analytical frameworks and models. Besides traditional variables considered in epidemiology, large-scale social patterns can be now integrated in real time with multi-source data bridging the gap between different scales. In a hyper-connected world, models and analysis of interactions and social behaviors are key to understand and stop outbreaks.
