The survey, which closes Aug. 2, explores seafarer wellness and the root causes of illness and injury. More than 800 seafarers have participated in the survey to date.
Global maritime charity Sailors’ Society helps seafarers and their families around the world in times of need. The results of the survey, which is being conducted by Yale University in the US, will be used to inform Sailors’ Society’s work supporting good health.
'We’ve had a great response to the survey so far. We hope that even more seafarers will come forward and have their say before the survey closes,' said Sandra Welch, Sailors’ Society’s deputy ceo and director of program.
'The survey takes just a few minutes to complete and we’ll use the results to further our understanding and improve our welfare services for the hundreds of thousands of seafarers that we reach out to each year.'
The survey can be completed anonymously here.
The research study forms part of Sailors’ Society’s wider Wellness at Sea program, which promotes on-board health and well-being.
Other program elements include a coaching course and a free app for seafarers. Sailors’ Society will also be launching an e-learning platform to make the Wellness at Sea coaching program accessible to a wider audience.
