About the Canadian Social Connection Survey
The Canadian Social Connection Survey is a serial cross-sectional survey with a longitudinal sub-cohort that aims to study the social health and well-being of Canadians in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, we have collected responses from more than 11,000 participants since 2021. Furthermore, nearly 500 respondents participate annually in a special subcohort designed to monitor within-person changes in social wellbeing.
This powerful study design allows us to understand the influence of social health and wellbeing on individuals and compare people from different socio-demographic groups.
