Community Insights Are Valuable
Our site will never be a place to come and get every fact or the latest piece of news about any health condition. However, we will continue to share results from surveys you generously respond to. Last year, we asked a lot of questions about COVID-19. Our first survey was in March of 2020, with follow-up surveys in May and December. Throughout, we collected over six thousand responses from 2,500 people.
Your survey responses helped one of our partners, Health Perspectives Group, create a dialog with the health care industry. Results were used in a series of webinars last year to describe how people with medical conditions were dealing with the pandemic. Most recently, they were used last week in an online event focused on COVID-19 vaccine development.
