Understanding the contact that people have with each other can help policy makers develop the most effective control strategies for infectious diseases like COVID-19. However, individuals in the academic community can have quite different social interactions to the general population.
Researchers at the University of Bristol are conducting a survey to investigate contact patterns, COVID-19-like symptoms, and changes in behaviour for University of Bristol staff and students.
Take the survey
The survey is now open. If you work or are a student at the University of Bristol, please take the survey and help us with this important research. Thank you.
Survey timeline
- June 2020 – Survey goes live
- We will be looking to see if contact patterns and behaviour change over time, so future versions of the survey will be sent out at different times (dates currently unknown).
- Aggregate results from the survey will be made available on the project website once available (date currently unknown)
