Last Responders Survey

Jul 20, 2020 | News & Announcements

As Last Responders, fatalities management workers are often the invisible faces of COVID-19. To date, there has been very little research to understand the consequences of COVID-19 on these workers.

A team at the University of Iowa has written a research study to understand stress, coping strategies and wellbeing of fatalities management workers across the US in relation to COVID-19, in order to guide the development of supportive interventions to promote wellbeing for you. They have developed a survey which will take approximately 20-25 minutes to complete and can be found by clicking the link below.

Thank you for your assistance on this project. Good participation in this study will allow us to find all the ways to assist all our colleagues in the funeral profession.
