What is the research about?

The goal of this study is to gather information about the knowledge and beliefs Canadians have in regards to using face masks and implementing physical distancing measures, as well as the impacts these measures have had on their daily lives.  In collaboration with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and other international partners, the results of this study will also be compared to face mask usage internationally, such as Hong Kong, Mainland China, Korea, U.S., Brazil, and the Philippines.

The findings from this survey will contribute to the knowledge regarding current public health interventions and to help develop more effective programs in the case of future outbreaks of influenza-like illnesses.

Who should participate?

This anonymous online survey is opened to anyone currently living in Canada and aged 18 or above.
