Top task results helps with priorities & navigation

  • Use results to understand interests/needs of Canadians over the course of the pandemic - contribute to planning
    • Rerun study in a few months to identify changing needs profile
    • In month 1, travel and symptoms were top tasks, now have slipped down
  • Helps with navigation as next steps for WHO study are:
    • 800+ people have sorted the top voted tasks into menu-style groups
    • WHO Treejack study now on to ensure people can navigate to top tasks
    • Countries can share and all use similar navigation - particularly those who have not taken a task-centred approach
