We’re Here to Change That

In 2020, we collected information through a research-based, online inquiry into the details that are affecting our physical and mental health as artists and touring professionals. This is the first study of its magnitude and scope, and is one that respects our life backstage while shining a light on the issues that impact our everyday experience.

 
 

The Survey

  • 239 questions

  • 30–45 minutes to complete

  • Privacy is important—No identifiable personal information will be collected

  • IRB approved to ensure that all research is conducted in an ethically and scientifically appropriate manner

 
 
 

What We Want to Know

  • Life on Tour

  • Interpersonal Relationships

  • Working Environment

  • Health Behaviors

  • Physical & Mental Health

  • Finances & Home Life

 
 

This survey is the first phase of the Tour Health Research Initiative. It’s an attempt to gather and analyze detailed information about the nuances of what impacts the health and mental health of touring professionals.

The better we can understand the relevant issues scientifically, the better we can find strategies to improve them.
