MONTREAL Montreal North was more severely affected by COVID-19 than any other neighbourhood in the city, and is one of the hardest-hit communities in the country and a new research study is trying to figure out why. Led by the Association of Canadian Studies and the Université de Montréal (U de M), the study will survey 4,000 Montreal North residents and 4,000 residents from other Montreal boroughs over the course of a year. Researchers hope to determine how community-level characteristics, in combination with individual behaviours, affect COVID-19 infection rates. The aim is to help fill the gaps in our knowledge about why some communities are more adversely impacted by the pandemic than others, said Dr. Simona Bignami, an associate professor in the Department of Demography at U de M and one of the study’s lead investigators.
