• Public Health Survey
  The objective of the research project was to better understand the demographics, attitudes and professional concerns of public health professionals in Canada with particular emphasis on the interaction between scientific evidence and policymakers. The team designed and executed a pair of surveys that was fielded to two different populations: Canadian public health professionals and the general population. These surveys asked questions that solicit respondents’ experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic, their general political attitudes, and demographic characteristics. Public health professionals were also asked unique questions about how they interacted with policy makers and political leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The information gleaned from this analysis will improve the capacity to advocate for public health measures and provide effective advice to the public and policymakers.
