Alongside the medical research being conducted about COVID-19, there are a number of studies being carried out about the psychological, sociological, and mental health effects of the pandemic, social distancing, and closing of economies around the world. Many of these studies look at the effects of religion on the pandemic. It is important that the secular community be included in this research.

- University of Ottawa and partners: How are you Coping? COVID-19 Survey
- McGill University: Survey on Psychological Health During COVID-19
