Adapting epidemiological research through unexpected environmental events: COVID-19 and bushfires impacts on the administration of the PATH cohort study
Dynamic capture of exposure to unexpected events within the context of an established longitudinal study requires rapid design and protocol adaptations, and careful documentation of participation timing and pathways. Given the heightened public interest, participant response was encouraging, and the data captured not only enhances the value of the whole dataset, but is uniquely placed to address questions on population-level vulnerabilities and ongoing impacts of the exposures.
