The Detroit Metro Area Communities Study (DMACS) is a University of Michigan initiative designed to regularly survey a broad, representative group of Detroit residents about their communities, including their experiences, perceptions, priorities, and aspirations. DMACS is also a reliable source for timely and relevant public opinion data in a changing Detroit.

Michigan CEAL partnered with DMACS’ to collect COVID-19 related information from the NIH’s Common Survey regarding COVID-19 information/misinformation, trusted information sources, vaccine trials, and vaccine hesitancy, along with other topics.

Between January 2021 and December 2023, the DMACS team has conducted 7 surveys in Detroit with CEAL support.
