Hello Marc,
Thanks for your questions. The main objective of this research is to examine how
individuals’ social interactions have changed during this crisis period. For many people,
their government and public health authorities recommend or require them to limit their
trips to varying extents, which has impacts on how people interact with each other.
Whether or not individual’s trips have changed, we would like to better understand about
their current social interactions, trips (or lack of trips), and how they feel about
these. Social interactions play an important role in our physiological wellbeing, and we
aim to expand our knowledge and understanding, and contribute to the field to be better
equipped for near present and future event through a detailed analysis and evaluation of
the social interactions, trips and well-being during this period.
I have also directed your questions to our Principal Investigator, Professor Owen Waygood,
who is in charge of the project as well as responding to the questions pertaining to the
research project. In the meantime, I wanted to provide a first quick response, but please
expect to hear more from him directly.
Thanks again,
Ipek

wellbeing' during COVID-19 confinement
Hi, could you say what the purpose and point of this survey is? How will any of the
responses "improve conditions for the near present and any future such events"?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Hope you are all well, and staying safe and healthy. I would like to inform you about a
new survey-based study examining “social interactions, trips, and wellbeing” during
COVID-19 confinement.
We would very much appreciate if you can fill the survey and share it with your family,
friends, colleagues, etc. As of now, we have the survey available in both English and
French.
Please see below for more information about the study as well as the direct links to the
survey.
*******************************
How have your social interactions and daily trips changed? How do you feel about those
changes?
Owen Waygood (Polytechnique Montréal) in collaboration with colleagues Genevieve Boisjoly
(Polytechnique Montréal), Kevin Manaugh (McGill University), and Ipek Sener (Texas A&M
Transportation Institute) have launched a survey that wants to know just that.
The research looks to better understand about how your living context (i.e., type of
building you live in, what your local environment is) might interact with the types of
trips you are making, the types of social interactions you are having, and your wellbeing
during this unprecedented time. Perhaps you are enjoying this time – reaching out to
people you haven’t heard from in ages, or maybe you’re really pining for human contact.
There are a wide variety of responses that people will have and we hope to know how to
improve conditions for the near present and any future such events.
The survey takes around 20 minutes, with an additional section on children at the end that
takes around 5 minutes. It is open to any adult (as defined by the law and culture where
they live).
Thank you for taking the survey and for sharing it!
