Global Survey: Supporting Caregivers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

April 13, 2020

Do you or your organization provide respite care or other supports for family caregivers? The University of Wisconsin-Madison wants to hear how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted your work. 

Please complete the following brief survey by April 15, 2020.

The purpose of this survey is to understand the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on respite care services and identify best practices for supporting caregivers during this time. For reference, the survey uses the American terms “respite” for “short break” and “caregiver” for “carer.” Survey responses will be summarized and made available to other respite care partners in order to help promote shared learning.


This survey is part of a research project being conducted by Kim Whitmore, PhD, RN, CPN, Assistant Professor, School of Nursing, University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA. Project partners include the BREAK (Building Respite Evidence and Knowledge) Exchange, the International Short Break Association, and ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center. If you have any questions about this survey, please email break.exchange@son.wisc.edu
