This study is designed to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the mental health and stress levels of people who work at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Researchers will ask employees about their experiences, emotions, and wellbeing during and after the pandemic to identify which workers may need extra support and what factors affect their stress the most.
Healthcare workers faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including fear of infection, long hours, and emotional strain. This study exists to understand the full scope of how the pandemic affected cancer center staff so that the organization can better support their mental health and wellbeing in future crises.

If you join, you'll complete two short online questionnaires—each taking about 10 minutes—that ask about your stress, emotions, and experiences during the pandemic. You'll fill out the first questionnaire at the start of the study, and then complete a follow-up questionnaire three months after the pandemic ends. That's it—no office visits or medical procedures needed.
