This study protocol describes the study design and the variables included in the SUN-study. The overall aim is to study risk factors for mental health problems and pain in university students. The SUN-study will contribute to the knowledge about modifiable risk and prognostic factors for mental health problems and musculoskeletal pain in university students. This new knowledge will contribute to future development of sound evidence-based interventions for prevention of these major global health concerns.
