Bavarian Ambulatory Covid-19 Monitor (BaCoM)
Measuring physical and psychological effects of the Covid-19 pandemic
The “Bavarian Outpatient Covid-19 Monitor” (BaCoM) was a Bavaria-wide, prospective register study and was conducted to map the living situation of people in need of care during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to those in need of care, caregivers, family caregivers and GPs were also surveyed.
Aim
The results were to form the basis for concrete findings and suggestions for improving the situation of people in need of care and their carers. These were presented to the State Ministry for Health, Care and Prevention at the closing symposium on November 20, 2023.
Project partners
The BaCoM project is led by the Institute of General Medicine at LMU München and supported by an interdisciplinary team of experts from sociology, infectiology and nursing sciences at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg and the Katholische Stiftungshochschule München.
