Are you a practicing Registered Nurse in Canada?

You are invited to participate in a research study on your knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward climate-driven vector-borne diseases in Canada.

I am a PhD student and am conducting a national study on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Registered Nurses in Canada toward climate-driven vector-borne diseases.

There is abundant evidence that climate change is contributing to increasing rates of vector-borne diseases, which affects the health of Canadians. Registered Nurses are central to a highly performing health care system and play an integral role in supporting individuals and populations affected by various health challenges.

Practicing Registered Nurses across Canada who hold valid registration with a designated provincial/territorial professional licensing body and can read English are invited to participate in this study. The study consists of an online anonymous Qualtrics survey, which will take approximately 10-15 min to complete.

Upon completion of the online survey, you can choose to include your name and contact information for a chance to win one of five $50 Amazon gift cards.

If you have any questions or require more information about the study, please contact the Principal Investigator:
