“…There are certain pre-departure health indicators which affect young people long after arriving at their destination (Gushulak & MacPherson, 2011). It was found that Coronavirus-19 pandemic stressors contributed to negative mental health outcomes such as distress, anxiety, infection fear/worry, traumatic stress, depression in addition to substance use and alcohol consumption among adolescents (Boden et al, 2021, Chretien, Minegishi, Cox, & Weitzman, 2022. The frequency of alcohol use, occurrence of depressive and anxious symptoms, and general levels of fear and concerns regarding the impact of Covid-19 on their lives have increased (Samji et al, 2022, Dumas, Ellis, & Litt, 2020.…”

The aims of this study were to investigate (i) the relationship between pre-departure alcohol consumption and post-pandemic emigration intentions to study abroad among Slovak adolescents, (ii) the internal mechanism of the associations between the fear of Coronavirus-19 and the pre-departure health indicators related to the Coronavirus-19 pandemic measures in adolescents (emigration intentions and alcohol consumption). A cross-sectional survey design was used. A paper and pencil and online survey were carried out between October and November 2021 on a total sample of 296 adolescents from the eastern part of Slovakia (50.7% girls, M= 17.7 years). A higher level of post-pandemic study abroad intention was found among girls and adolescents who reported alcohol consumption. The data supported a long-way serial mediation (fear of Coronavirus-19 → self-efficacy → negative affect → emigration intentions → alcohol consumption). A direct negative effect of the fear of Coronavirus-19 on alcohol consumption was confirmed. This study contributes to the understanding of the pre-departure migrationhealth indicators relationship. Innovative school-based prevention programs would benefit from such knowledge and should incorporate supporting general self-efficacy, health-related behaviour and a healthy openness to new experience among adolescents before they leave their home countries.
