Introduction

We are a research team from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is conducting research on households’ purchasing behaviors in times of crisis. We kindly ask that you fill this survey, which seeks to understand the factors that consumers like yourself consider when deciding what and how to purchase supplies in times like these. Gaining insights about the factors that drive purchases would help retailers, and government agencies to better serve communities impacted. Your participation is critical for the success of the research. The survey will take up approximately 15 minutes of your time. You can quit the survey at any time you like.

The questionnaire is completely confidential. Once you fully complete the survey and provide your contact email address, you will be entered in a prize draw to win one of fifty US$25 gift vouchers.
