The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the nationwide lockdown on the levels of anxiety and depression among last year senior high school students preparing for the upcoming Panhellenic university entrance exams. The questions were presented in four sections: (a) demographic characteristics, (b) anxiety and depressive symptoms over the first two weeks of February (prior to nationwide lockdown -baseline); (c) anxiety and depressive symptoms during the past two weeks (during lockdown -current), using the Greek versions of GAD-7 and PHQ-9 (The Patient Health Questionnaire Screeners, www.phqscreeners.com); (d) distress experienced during lockdown. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study reporting data concerning the impact of the nationwide lockdown on the mental health of last year senior high school students preparing for the national university entrance exams in Greece. ./cache/cord-354475-im2py2or.txt ./txt/cord-354475-im2py2or.txt
