The impact of COVID-19 among low-literate people and people with MID: measures, (mental) health and action perspectives with regard to the care and support needs and policy

Project description In order to gain insight into the impact of the pandemic, RIVM, together with the GGDs, is conducting national research to map out how the population is doing (physical, psychological and social) and how this will develop over time. However, the aforementioned research does not reach low-literate people and people with mild intellectual disabilities. This project focuses on gaining insight into the impact among these target groups and answering the following questions: To what extent are the pandemic and the national measures understood and monitored? What is the impact of the pandemic on (mental) health? Which action perspectives can be formulated for supporters and municipalities? The goal is to develop a simple questionnaire for these target groups. The questionnaire will be derived from the national questionnaire and deployed at three times. The results are interpreted with different disciplines and translated into concrete action perspectives
