Our Research

The Waco COVID Survey has generated numerous publications that contribute to our understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, COVID-19 disease, and its impact on our community.  These studies have been important in revealing insights into changes in health behaviors and stress throughout the pandemic, and even the effectiveness of personal protective equipment and vaccinations.  Our publications were produced to inform local and national public health strategies, provide data-driven recommendations, and advance our community's knowledge of COVID-19 dynamics.  Through rigorous research and community collaboration, we strive to enhance preparedness and response efforts for future public health challenges.
