“…A literature-based review showed that young people show high motivation to migrate (Şerban- Oprescu et al, 2021). It also showed that higher education increases this interest as well as the influence of socio-psychological factors (family, challenges, opportunities, employment conditions, quality of life, desire for change, social environment, degree of development of society, individual freedom, values, traditions, etc.)…”

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.
