University of Delaware Disaster Research Center COVID-19 study

The University of Delaware Disaster Research Center is conducting a study on the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

They have asked for assistance in learning more about the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are interested in learning about the experiences of a broad range of health care workers. They especially hope to learn about the experiences of our membership at work, the types of information and support received, and how others in and outside of the workplace may have been treated during this time period. Findings from the study will be shared with the wider community and may help future planning to similar events.

They have invited VNPA members and followers to participate in a short anonymous survey, via this link to the survey:

By way of a brief introduction, the Disaster Research Center is the oldest center in the world devoted to the social science and management aspects of disasters, founded in 1963. Since then they have conducted hundreds of studies on various crises, emergencies, and disasters. They are always grateful to the participants in their studies, whose time and thoughtfulness enables advances in disaster science.

More information on the Disaster Research Center can be found at their website drc.udel.edu. Please feel free to reach out, they would be glad to talk further about their study.
