Covid-19 Canadian Social Impacts Survey & Interviews: What are your Covid-19 Social Priorities? Request for Questions

The CEMPPR Lab (Collaboration on Emergency Management, Policy, and Preparedness Research) is a research group within York University's Disaster and Emergency Management Program. They are in the midst of running a national, representative, longitudinal study on the social dimensions of Covid-19 in Canada. An initial round of data was collected in March and April and they will be administering another round of the survey in the late fall. The initial survey questions were developed based on input from federal, provincial, and local agencies, and the raw data and summaries will be made publicly available.

Their priority is to collect data on the social impacts, attitudes, and issues that will support evidence-informed decision-making. If you have questions you are interested in asking on this survey (whether exact questions, general priority areas, or anything in between), please contact Dr. Eric Kennedy (ebk@yorku.ca) to discuss your needs and opportunities for them to help collect the information that aligns with your priority challenges.
