Alone Together Study
The Alone Together Study is a five-wave, 30-month, Australia-wide research project investigating the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated personal, social, and economic changes among a community sample of Australian adults aged 18 years and older. A total of 2,056 participants were included at baseline, answering questions about general demographics, housing, living arrangements, social networks, and relationships, as well as sharing their experience with loneliness, psychological symptoms, and experience with drugs and alcohol, as well as coping strategies and resilience.
