Abstract
How you are seen by society can affect how you react in a crisis. Around the world, countries have adopted measures such as social distancing, closing of schools and businesses and limited access to public spaces. Psychiatrist Dr. Cécile Rousseau, along with collaborators from Concordia University and University of Ottawa, will conduct surveys and interviews with 4,000 Quebecers to understand how minority status, low socioeconomic status, discrimination/stigmatization and mental health affect understanding and adoption of COVID-19 public health measures. The results will inform the best way to communicate about COVID-19 with different groups.
