Message to the Kirkby Malzeard Area from the Covid-19 Social Study
The UK’s Covid-19 mental health research study, which provides weekly data direct to the UK government and NHS, is looking for more participants. This results from this study are vital for us to understand the effects of social isolation measures on people, and will help to support people to stay well at home.
We are asking Mutual Aid groups all over the UK asking if they will TAKE PART and SPREAD THE WORD to support the Covid-19 effort.
There are 50,000 UK adults in the study already, but the team need a lot more as the data are being used to understand the effects of the virus and social distancing measures on mental health and loneliness in the UK and to make decisions on government response to Covid-19. Mailing lists, Facebook groups, newsletters, social media. Every participant counts.
Participation involves answering a 10-minute online survey: Click HERE to start the survey.
