*2.2. Participants*

Approximately 1850 university employees or service providers were potentially eligible for research and were invited to participate in the online survey. No inclusion criteria other than working for the university were imposed and there were no exclusion criteria. In the first data collection, in May 2020, 407 responses were received. The participants had a mean age of 37.5 years, and the majority were female (68%) and had been, on average, social distancing for 59 days. In the second stage of data collection, in June, 258 responses were received. These participants had a mean age of 40.9, 72% were female, and they had a mean time in social isolation of 92 days. Finally, 207 participants responded to the third stage in August, who had a mean age of 41 years, 72% were female, and had a mean of 130 days in isolation. Except for the time in isolation, which predictably increased, there were no statistically significant differences (*p* > 0.05) between the proportion by gender and the average age of the participants in the three stages.

The selection criterion for inclusion in this analysis of change was having responded to at least two stages of data collection (*n* = 256). Only 36 participants responded in all three stages, 87 participated in the first and second stages, 70 in the second and third stages, and 63 participants in the first and third stages.
