De COVID-19 surveys in brief
The COVID-19 health surveys help scientists and policymakers to estimate the impact of the corona crisis on our health. That is why we regularly launch a new questionnaire to:
- to question a number of specific topics (this time lifestyle is discussed extensively, for example).
- monitor the evolution of recurring topics such as mental and social well-being.
Hence, thanks to your completion of each questionnaire, we can map trends and study various topics that are important for public health!
