Online Survey for Family Carers of People with Dementia

CLIC (Coping with Loneliness, Isolation and Covid-19)

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed our lives in so many ways, and it has been particularly challenging for people living with dementia and their families. To date, the impact on family carers is not known and therefore we are disseminating an international survey to hear the voices of carers & families and learn about their experiences during the pandemic.

We invite you to take part in a short online anonymous survey to share your experiences. You can offer invaluable insights into life before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, including key challenges and coping strategies. Through understanding the impact of COVID-19 on carers and families of people with dementia, we aim to influence policy, community and agency response. The survey is open to anyone over 18 yrs of age who has access to the internet and it is available in many languages.

This survey is being led by a team of international researchers and has been developed by the Institute of Public Health (Ireland) and Trinity College Dublin. The survey is being circulated globally and therefore results will give us a unique insight into family carers’ experiences in different countries and at different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
