Description
Summary:The COVID-19 pandemic has seen health and medical research promoted as countries establish resilient health systems and rapidly responsive prevention, detection, and treatment methods. The questionnaire contained 52 questions about research and employment and perceptions of the effect of the pandemic on researchers' activities (Deakin Human Research Ethics Committee project number HEAG-H-71_2020). Relative to clinical researchers, public health researchers were less likely (OR 0·76, 0·53–1·09) and basic science researchers more likely (OR 1·75, 1·18–2·60) to expect their research outcomes to be affected after 2020, including any effects on higher degree research students (public health OR 0·51, 0·36–0·73; basic science OR 3·09, 2·04–4·67).
