Dedham Urges Residents To Take Community Coronavirus Survey

DEDHAM, MA — Dedham officials are urging residents to take the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's COVID-19 Community Impact Survey.

"Communities across the state, especially marginalized communities, have faced numerous financial and emotional challenges as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic," Town Manager Leon Goodwin said. "We encourage residents to share their experiences by completing this survey."

The survey is meant to help the DPH learn about the experiences of Massachusetts residents throughout the pandemic, specifically from people of color and communities who have been historically underserved. Residents who have not become ill with COVID-19 are still managing stress, uncertainty and isolation, and these communities have been impacted the most by this public health emergency.

"The survey results will help the state to understand how different communities have been affected by the pandemic," Jasset said.

Anyone age 14 and older who lives in Massachusetts is welcome to complete the survey. The survey is also available in multiple languages.

The survey is available online and can be accessed on computer, phone or tablet. It is expected to take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. All answers are anonymous.
