- Dr. Afodjo’s COVID-19-related research has focused on the identification of peer effects in health-related behaviors at the beginning of the pandemic. Using a unique dataset on Canadian residents, he investigates how much (if any) individuals relied on family, friends, neighbors to decide on their own behaviors regarding handwashing, mask-wearing and social distancing.
