Alaska Statewide Survey on Long COVID
by Jennifer Meyer |
In February 2022, a team at UAA led by Dr. Jennifer Meyer deployed a statewide survey to assess respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to COVID-19 prevention strategies and specifically long Covid or post-COVID conditions.
A total of 811 eligible participants responded. Among these respondents, about one-third reported a lab-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, with 31% reporting long-term health effects.
The majority of survey respondents were quite knowledgeable about COVID-19, indicating they knew the COVID-19 vaccine is recommended even if you are young, have already had COVID-19, and if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. They also reported that masking is an effective intervention that they use, as well as staying up to date with vaccination recommendations. 76% of persons had already been boosted or were planning to get boosted once they were eligible.
