COVID-19 Coping: a Barometer on Saskatchewan Mental Health
(Week 15)
[July 10, 2020] In our continued curiosity of knowing how Saskatchewan residents are holding up with COVID-19, here’s what they told us in Week 15 (July 6 to 10)…
Week 15 Results
We surveyed 400 Saskatchewan residents on our consumer panel, SaskWatch Research®, each week. We will continue our barometer every second week. The next update will be on July 24.
The word cloud below shows how people are feeling in Week 15 - in a single word:
Self-reported mental health remains steady, with two thirds describing themselves as happy:
Stress levels due to COVID-19 remain steady. Outlook for the weeks ahead has largely stabilized, with most feeling things will “remain the same”:
Concern about both the virus and the economy also remain largely steady:
Comfort participating in several activities remains steady. The largest increase since the previous tracking period is for visiting a mall.
Despite increased comfort participating in a range of activities, opinions are divided regarding whether or not it feels like things are “back to normal”. Most feel it is either somewhat or not really back to normal.
Since March 23, 2020, we started sharing a few brief insights from our online community, SaskWatch Research®. As we monitor and trend the results by week, we will share the information with you as we get it.
Let us know if you have any questions for our panel about COVID-19.
