Project Description

Are you 65 or older, and living in the Republic of Ireland? If you are, researchers coordinating the Wellbeing, Interventions and Supports during Epidemics (WISE) study would love you to get involved in their research. They would like you to take part by sharing your experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and telling them what you have found helpful, and on the other hand what has caused you stress.

How to participate
This activity will take place remotely (online, phone or post). It is important that you can share your story your way, so you can get involved by:
1) Writing about your experiences, or sending us pictures – or a mixture of both
2) Talking to us about it – by phone or Zoom or (when it’s safe) in person
3) Doing a ‘go-along’ interview where you show us a place that has been special to you over the past year and sharing details about it.

You will find all of the details on the study here. You can contact lead researcher Viveka Guzman on vivekaguzman@rcsi.ie to find out more.
