Dartmouth College and UNH Survey Center <\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers at Dartmouth\u2019s Geisel School of Medicine have initiated an \u201cemergency\u201d COVID-19 community survey in New Hampshire, which launched Friday April 3rd<\/sup>, 2020 in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Survey Center. In the absence of readily available laboratory testing, the survey will track the progress of the COVID-19 outbreak in New Hampshire and factors associated with transmission.<\/p>\n

Designed to be completed via computer or smart phone, the online survey was sent to the Granite State Panel\u2014a cohort of nearly 3,400 New Hampshire residents selected randomly over the past year who have agreed to participate in statewide research through the UNH Survey Center. In addition to tracking daily symptoms, the study is gathering other important data such as factors associated with household transmissions, how often people practice hand sanitizing and social distancing, how often they leave their homes to do shopping or other activities, and how using supplements like vitamin D and probiotics may influence symptoms.<\/p>\n

The project is led by Dr. Judy Rees of the Department of Epidemiology at the Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College, and Dr. Tracy Keirns, Assistant Director of the Survey Center at the University of New Hampshire. This project is supported by emergency funding from The Hitchcock Foundation, the Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation, Dartmouth College COVID-19 \"Spark\" funding, and in-kind support by UNH Survey Center staff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Members of the Granite State Panel were specifically invited because they are thought to be representative of the state as a whole.\u00a0 The UNH Survey Center will be following the Granite State Panel cohort during this health crisis and releasing more reports in coming weeks both here and on the UNH Survey center website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
