We will shortly be sending out an invitation to participate in a new online HEAF questionnaire. The invitations will come via e-mail if you have provided us with one, or by post if you have not. So please check your e-mails including junk folders.

During the pandemic restrictions we’ve been busy writing scientific papers from the data you have kindly provided up to now. (see findings section). Now we’d like your assistance once again in completing an online questionnaire about your experiences of the Covid pandemic and lockdown. We’ve taken the decision to send an online questionnaire due to problems with sending and processing bulk post whilst not having full access to our office facilities. We realise that not everyone will have access to the internet and/or may not want to complete an online questionnaire. Rest assured that HEAF will return to the normal postal format as soon as we are able to do so and you will remain an important part of our study whether you fill out the online questionnaire or not.

We are also pleased to announce that the new questionnaire will form part of a new PhD project for one of our statistician staff members, Stefania D’Angelo. Stefania has been involved in the statistical analysis of HEAF for many years and we are pleased that this exciting new project will allow us even greater scope to work with participants on such an important topic.
