Samoan Women's Experiences of COVID-19 PhD Research Invitation to Participate and/or Share
Malo le soifua,
My name is Sarah McLean-Orsborn and I am currently a PhD student at the University of Auckland. My research is looking to understand how Samoan women have been impacted by COVID-19 this year. The goal for this research is to not only understand how COVID-19 has impacted our Samoan women, but also to find ways to support our Samoan women in times of crises. I have attached the participant information sheet, as well as my flyer for you to look through as well as share to your networks if possible.
My questionnaire is open to:
• Samoan women in Samoa and throughout the diaspora (NZ, Australia, across the Pacific, UK, USA etc.)
• 16 years and older
• Have been directly/indirectly impacted by COVID-19 (you don't need to have been diagnosed with COVID-19 to share your experiences)
Please feel free to participate if you meet the criteria and/or share this with your networks or anyone who you think fits the criteria and would like to help with my research!
Fa'afetai tele lava and I look forward to sharing progress with you!

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
