COVID-19 Study

 

In this study, we aim to examine stress and coping over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study involves completing a baseline survey and brief monthly follow-up surveys over the course of the pandemic. The surveys will ask questions about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in response to the outbreak as well as questions about your personality and mood. This information will help us better understand how people deal with the risk of becoming infected with the virus, and how information about the virus and disease can best be delivered to the public. 

Recruitment for this study is now closed.
