Our study aims to explore the impact of ongoing symptoms following COVID-19, often known as Long-COVID or post-COVID condition, in people who have not fully recovered after their initial infection.
Some people keep having symptoms for weeks or even years after a COVID-19 infection. Common symptoms include tiredness, trouble thinking clearly ("brain fog"), shortness of breath, and trouble sleeping, but there are many others.
Current understanding and support for these groups are limited. We want to understand how Long-COVID affect people over time, including changes in physical health, mood, daily activities, work, and overall quality of life.
We invite individuals who have experienced ongoing symptoms after COVID-19 for more than four weeks to complete the screening questionnaire.
If you are eligible and interested, you will be invited to complete a survey about the impacts of Long-COVID at seven time points over two years, which are as follows: Day 1 (the day you start the survey), Day 7, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24. If your symptoms persist after two years, you will have the option to continue participating in the study for an additional year.
If you take part in the study, you will receive a Coles-Myer gift card (up to $100 per year) as a token of our appreciation for your valuable contribution. If you have any questions, please email longcovidstudy@rmit.edu.au.

Please note that if you are eligible, a researcher will contact you by phone within 7 days of receiving your expression of interest. We can also communicate via email if preferred. The Participant Information and Consent Form (PICF) is provided for your information only. There is no need to sign or return the form to us, as we will go through the consent process over the phone.
