Brandeis Students Support COVID-19 Safety

In the summer of 2020, the Office of Health and Wellness Promotion (HAWP) conducted a survey of Brandeis students' attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral intent regarding COVID-19 safety guidelines.

The survey was emailed to 5,063 students for a total response rate of 31%.

This survey identified a misperception of the social norm; while the majority of students reported strong support for COVID-19 safety guidelines, they were less likely to believe that other students supported these measures. This social norms campaign was developed to help correct that misperception.
