UM CRECER

UM CRECER updated their address.

The University of Miami CRECER lab is currently working on collecting data for a research study on psychosocial impacts of COVID-19 on Health Care Professionals (HCPs) and their opinions on vaccination efforts. The purpose of this study is to collect data on stressors, worries, professional support, and general health issues experienced by HCPs (i.e. physicians, nurses, biomedical scientists/researchers, mental health clinicians) using an online platform. If you have previously completed the survey, the survey will allow you to skip to portion of the survey that addresses opinions about the vaccine.



The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete and your response will help us develop an idea of how the pandemic continues to impact health care professionals. Our goal for this data is to provide insight on how institutions can establish structural plans to support HCPs in anticipation of future global health crises. Participation is voluntary.
