Targeting Isolation Pharmacy Survey
Thank-you for accessing this survey. This survey is part of a research study conducted at the University of Manitoba entitled ‘Reducing social isolation and loneliness among older adults’.

What is this study about?

Social isolation and loneliness are common among older adults. They have become even more common with the COVID-19 pandemic. With this survey, we are trying to find out:

· whether, during your regular work as a pharmacist or pharmacist technician, you have encountered socially isolated or lonely older adults, and, if so, how you dealt with these experiences; and

· what resources might be useful for you as you interact with older people as part of your work who might be socially isolated or lonely.

We hope that the study will give insights into how to reduce social isolation and loneliness among older adults.
