EUCLID-Project Risk Perceptions & Behavior in the Context of the Current Coronavirus Outbreak

In response to the ongoing public health emergency due to the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 and the associated disease COVID-19) outbreak worldwide, the University of Konstanz developed an online survey “EUCLID” to track: 1. Subjective health & symptoms, 2. Perceived risk & outbreak related perceptions, 3. Protection motivation & behavior, 4. Expected future developments of the current outbreak.
The online panel (Prolific Academic), was conducted with social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter), and email lists using a snowball system. Participation is voluntary and as compensation, participants could take part in a lottery. Data collection started February 02, 2020 as part of a student project.
The EUCLID study was carried out as part of the RiskDynamics (FOR 2374) research group funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Center of Excellence Cluster for the Advanced Study of Collective Behavior at the University of Konstanz. The surveys are continued on an ongoing basis in 15 countries (July 2020).

EUROSTAT Excess Mortality by Month

The monthly excess mortality indicator is based on the exceptional data collection on weekly deaths that Eurostat set up, in April 2020, to support the policy and research efforts related to Covid-19. With that data collection, Eurostat's target was to provide quickly statistics assessing the changing situation of the total number of deaths on a weekly basis, from early 2020 onwards. National Statistical Institutes transmit available data on total weekly deaths, classified by sex, 5-year age groups and NUTS3 regions (NUTS2016) over the last 20 years, on a voluntary basis. The resulting online tables, and complementary metadata, are available in the folder Weekly deaths - special data collection (demomwk). In December 2020, Eurostat released a European Recovery Statistical Dashboard containing also indicators tracking economic and social developments, including health. In this context, “excess mortality” offers elements for monitoring and further analysing direct and indirect effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The monthly excess mortality indicator draws attention to the magnitude of the crisis by providing a comprehensive comparison of additional deaths amongst the European countries and allowing for further analysis of its causes. The number of deaths from all causes is compared with the expected number of deaths during a certain period in the past. The reasons for an excess mortality may vary according to different phenomena. The indicator is simply comparing the total number of deaths from all causes with the expected number of deaths during a certain period in the past (baseline).

Tracking Public Health and Social Measures (PHSM)

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of organizations have begun tracking implementation of Public health and social measures (PHSMs) around the world, using different data collection methods, database designs and classification schemes. A unique collaboration between WHO, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, ACAPS, University of Oxford, Global Public Health Intelligence Network, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Complexity Science Hub Vienna has brought these datasets together, using a common taxonomy and structure, into a single, open-content dataset for public use.
The project has two stages and different databases are associated with each stage: in stage 1, the datasets from each of the seven providers were formatted and coded but not cleaned or altered, apart from standardizing country, territory or area names to those used by the WHO. This database has duplicate records if more than one dataset reported the same measure. In stage 2, duplicates were removed, PHSM coding was validated and verified beyond what the dataset providers have already done, additional variables were coded for each measure, and records are closed if the measure is no longer in place.

Trustlab OECD Initiative

The survey is part of the Trustlab initiative conducted in the United States. This initiative combines largescale incentivized economic experiments with a survey on a broad range of questions on the determinants of trust. The data collection of the second wave of the Trustlab started on the 12th of June 2020, at a time when Corona cases and deaths in the U.S. were quickly growing and was completed on the 7th of September in the same year. The questionnaire of this second wave of the Trustlab captured a set of questions related to the COVID-19 pandemic which constitute our main variables of interest, ranging from self-reported (protective) behavior over worries about the spread in the local community to opinions about the political management of the crisis. The sample contains 1,120 participants and is broadly representative of the U.S. working-age population in terms of age, gender, and income.

University College London (UCL) COVID-19 Social Study

The UCL COVID-19 Social Study is a large panel study of the psychological and social experiences of over 75,000 adults (aged 18+) in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study commenced on 21st March 2020 and involves online weekly data collection from participants for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The study is not random and therefore is not representative of the UK population. But it does contain a well-stratified sample that was recruited using three primary approaches. First, snowballing was used, including promoting the study through existing networks and mailing lists (including large databases of adults who had previously consented to be involved in health research across the UK), print and digital media coverage, and social media. Second, more targeted recruitment was undertaken focusing on (i) individuals from a low-income background, (ii) individuals with no or few educational qualifications, and (iii) individuals who were unemployed. Third, the study was promoted via partnerships with third sector organizations to vulnerable groups, including adults with pre-existing mental health conditions, older adults, carers, and people experiencing domestic violence or abuse. The study was approved by the UCL Research Ethics Committee [12467/005] and all participants gave informed consent.
