University College London is asking people to take part in a survey looking at how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people’s health and quality of life. The survey forms part of the Coronavirus Chronic Conditions and Disabilities Awareness Study (CICADA) (this link will take you away from our website), which is funded by the National Institute for Health Research.
Informed by empirical research, the project aims to develop simple strategies, recommendations and easily adopted actions to improve future experiences and health and wellbeing outcomes, particularly for those with chronic health conditions and those who are from minoritised ethnic groups.
The 18 month UK study will try to learn from people’s experiences of the pandemic, including people with chronic conditions, impairments and disabilities. The survey should take around 20 minutes to complete. For each wave, you will have a chance to win a £50 voucher. If you complete all three waves, you will have an additional chance to win a £100 voucher.
You can take part in the survey using one of the following links:
