**If yes to Q22** Can you tell me more about the issue? Was it a chronic or acute condition, for example? (Q22A)

This chart reflects responses to Question #22A from the Winter 2020 survey, which asked “If yes to Q22, Can you tell me more about the issue? Was it a chronic or acute condition, for example?” This was an open-ended question and there were 19 responses. Responses to this question were thematically coded, with all responses fitting into one or more of the following themes: 

• Respiratory conditions (e.g. asthma, allergies)

• Brain conditions (e.g. seizure, stroke)

• Heart conditions

• Issue related to Cesarean section (i.e. childbirth) 

• Other

The most common theme was “respiratory conditions”, with 10 responses falling into this category. Three responses were categorized as “brain conditions”, and three responses were categorized as “heart conditions”. Two responses were categorized as “issue related to Cesarean section”, and two responses were categorized as “other”, with responses discussing rashes, and headaches when one’s heat is set to a high temperature. It’s important to note that some responses contained multiple themes, as they discussed more than one health issue.
