Researchers from McMaster University and Offord Centre for Child Studies have launched a follow-up province-wide survey to measure and understand how families with children are still coping with COVID-19. Their first survey was conducted about a year ago, and they would like to gather an update on how families are coping, given the repeated pivoting with public health measures.
The findings from the initial survey were shared widely and they helped to inform service and program allocations. The findings from this survey will be used to inform community practice on how to support families through these difficult times and beyond.
Given that we are aware that COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted certain communities, it is important to hear from families that reflect the diverse range of races, ethnicities, socio-economic status and family structures, so that we have a more thorough understanding of how we can support all our diverse communities, during these difficult times.
There will be a random draw that includes Amazon gift cards and a few iPads.
