Published: 14 September 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed daily life for citizens in most countries around the world. The speed at which the public had to react and adapt to government directives for physical distancing is unprecedented, causing numerous hardships in acquiring the essentials.
Led by Professor Daiva Nielsen from McGill’s School of Human Nutrition, the Quebec COVID-19 Food Access Study is an online provincial household investigation evaluating impacts and changes to food access and food behaviours according to regional COVID-19 prevalence during and after the provincial lockdown period that occurred this spring. Participants are residents of Quebec aged 18 and older.
