How Are You Going? is a study conducted by the Nossal Institute of Global Health at the University of Melbourne that seeks to gather data to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall well-being and economic circumstances of individuals and households worldwide, as well as how this is changing over time.
Our hope is that this insight will lead to more effective policy responses to help address the challenges posed by COVID-19.

The study is being conducted by inviting people all over the world to complete the survey on this site – and we would love you to be involved.
