The STEP-UP project developed a training tool for adult education, especially for adults involved in social care and community stakeholders, where they are introduced to the impact of behaviours in the spread of a pandemic/emergency situation and trained, through gaming strategies, to prevent and cope. Within the work to develop such tool and given all cultural and systemic differences made evident during the emergency state, a survey was launched, to learn more about the perspectives and professional experiences of people working with the COVID-19 outbreak. Pandemic measures collected in desk research were evaluated directly by users and affected parties in order to identify deficits and possible improvements. In total, recommendations and critiques were collected on 18 different measures against the virus. The survey was developed using Surveymonkey. It was sent to the different target groups by the STEP_UP partners via online link. In addition to the predominant online responses, there were also a few printed questionnaires that were filled in and subsequently fed into the data. Before analysing the data, 18 responses were deleted that answered only the demographic part. The final sample size includes 133 persons. The quantitative approach had the advantage that in the current pandemic situation significantly more people could be reached, and the risks of personal contact could be minimised. Participation in the survey was voluntary and anonymous and it was carried out between January and March 2022.
