COVID-19 survey in Greater Western Sydney
This project captured experiences of the pandemic across 11 languages, making it the largest Australian COVID-19 survey for people whose main language is not English (N=708). Data was captured just prior to the 2021 Delta outbreak, from the region most directly affected (Greater Western Sydney) and provided rich community data to shape NSW’s response to outbreak. Outcome variables included information sources used, COVID-19 knowledge and self-reported behaviours, attitudes, and vaccine intentions.
