​We need your help

Our community is facing the unprecedented challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

​Policies such as self-isolation (quarantine) help protect us all. However, we must also find ways to protect everyone’s mental health during periods of isolation.

​To overcome this challenge, Australian researchers are conducting a world-first survey study, and we need your help​​!

What is this study about?

This is a survey study investigating which factors contribute to people's mental wellbeing during, and after, periods of self-isolation (self-quarantine), compared to that of just social-distancing. 

By taking part in the CARE Study you could help fast-track the development of ideas and interventions that protect the mental health of vulnerable members of our community, in Australia and around the world.
