Survey Invitation - Veterinary Survey on Risk Communication for High-Consequence Animal Diseases

Researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore, MD invite you to participate in a national study on veterinarians’ experiences with risk communication for high-consequence animal diseases (e.g., Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, Rabies, New World Screwworm). 

Your perspective is vital. The online survey will:

• Take ~20 minutes
• Be completely anonymous
• Contribute to improving veterinary preparedness and well-being during high-consequence animal disease outbreaks

As a thank-you, the Johns Hopkins P.O.E. Total Worker Health® Center in Mental Health is offering participants receive FREE access to a RACE-approved, 1 credit-hour Veterinary Continuing Education module on occupational and Total Worker Health®.

You are eligible to participate in this study if you are 18 years of age or over and have worked in the United States within the past 3 years (2023-2025). If you would like to participate in this study, please click on the link below:
