Covid-19 Research and Studies

Many companies and organisations have started research work and studies to understand the impact of COVID-19.  

Here are a selection


MIND Charity Mental Health Survey

A survey of more than 16,000 people during lockdown by the charity Mind has revealed the scale of the impact of the pandemic on people with mental health problems. Two out of three (65 per cent) adults over 25 and three-quarters (75 per cent) of young people aged 13-24 with an existing mental health problem reported worse mental health.

NHS Blood and Transplant - Living Donation survey

As transplant centres look to restart their living donation programmes, NHS Blood and Transplant like to hear how the Covid-19 outbreak has affected donors’ views. If you have donated, are under assessment for, or considering donating a kidney, please complete the survey:here


EXPERIENCES, CONCERNS AND SUPPORT NEEDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE/WERE ‘SHIELDING’ DUE TO COVID-19 AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS

Would you be interested in sharing your experiences of ‘shielding’ due to Covid-19? We wanted to draw your attention to some research that we thought might be of interest to you. 

The research is about the experiences, concerns and support needs of people who are ‘shielding’ and their family members. It will involve completing an online survey, with the option of subsequently taking part in an interview or focus group, if you want to. Results from the study will be used to provide guidance to health professionals, policy makers and charities during the current Covid-19 pandemic and for future planning.

There are two versions of the survey: 

One for people who are ‘shielding’ or were shielding and are no longer doing so, which can be found here:

One for family members of people who are ‘shielding’ or were shielding and are no longer doing so, which can be found here:
