7:35 Children's Perspectives on the Pandemic

Anthropologist and Child Health researcher, Dr Julie Spray joins us once again to talk about her Pandemic Generation research project.  She has been interviewing and making comics with Auckland kids aged 7-11 about their perspectives on the covid-19 pandemic.

I've been making comics with Auckland kids about how they've participated in Covid-19 public health measures for a new study. Children have been pretty invisible during this pandemic, so I thought I'd start sharing their stories to remind us they're 20% of the team of 5 million. pic.twitter.com/02H2YITO5p

This stress can lead to slower healing times or even a higher chance of being readmitted to hospital.
