The CHILD COVID-19 add-on study has been providing important insights into how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the physical and mental health of Canadian families.
This one-year study has been exploring why some people infected with the virus become seriously ill while others do not; risk factors for infection; and how physical distancing and school and business closures have affected mental health and wellbeing, especially of children.
The study’s findings will help control subsequent waves of transmission and will help minimize the unintended consequences of pandemic management policies. Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals but in addition, to accelerate and maximize the impact of this research, results have been shared through a dedicated webpage to quickly reach policymakers, other researchers, and families participating in the study
