Participants will be asked to answer a set of questions on demographic patterns. This includes questions that may be sensitive, including but not limited to questions related to COVID-19, mental health and well-being, physical health and health-related behaviors, concerns and perceptions about COVID-19, its prevalence and lethality, expectations on COVID-19 and unemployment, employment and job characteristics, non-labor market time and changes, behaviors when going out, views on the effectiveness of masks.

Canadian Perspective Survey Series

The Canadian Perspectives Survey Series (CPSS) involves people who agree to complete about six very short online surveys over a period of one year (about one every two months) using randomly sample households from the Labor Force Survey (LFS) out-going rotation groups.
The first survey of the series focused on the impacts of COVID-19. The second survey of the series focused on monitoring the effect of COVID-19. The third survey of the series focuses on the gradual reopening of economic and social activities during COVID-19.

Citizens’ Attitudes Under the COVID-19 Pandemic Project

The survey measures ordinary people’s perceptions of and behavioral reactions to the disease caused by COVID-19. It investigates and documents attitudes towards policies on a number of issues – health, the economy, civil liberties – and towards governments and institutions. The project measures representations, attitudes and reactions among the general public in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in a number of countries exposed to the coronavirus. Among others it examines also how people respond to the crisis in terms of economic well-being, tax implications, preferences on the role of the state, economic choices related to the national context and supranational environment (cooperation vs. self-interest).
The methodological design consisted of a broad series of online public opinion surveys in 18 countries in March and April 2020. The survey was repeated at least 4 times in every country (8 waves in France). All surveys run through CAWI (Computer-assisted web interviewing) on samples going from 2,000 respondents to 1,000 respondents.

CLS | COVID-19 Survey

During the coronavirus pandemic, we have been running a series of surveys to find out about the experiences of the participants in five national longitudinal cohort studies. The aim is to understand the economic, social and health impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, the extent to which the pandemic is widening or narrowing inequalities, and the lifelong factors which shape vulnerability and resilience to its effects. We have now completed three waves of the survey. Participants in all four of the national longitudinal cohort studies that we manage at CLS, as well as participants in the MRC National Survey of Health and Development, have taken part. In March 2021, study participants who had taken part in any of these three COVID-19 surveys were asked to provide a blood sample to be analysed for COVID-19 antibodies.

Consumer Pyramids Household Survey

The Consumer Pyramids Household Survey (CPHS), produced by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), is the world's largest household panel survey, a continuous survey of more than 174,000 households in India. CPHS revisits its entire sample in three four-month waves each year, permitting longitudinal analysis starting in January 2014. Overall, CPHS aims to get a sense of the economic well-being of households in India and changes in their well-being over time. Since each household is surveyed three times per year, the survey allows up to five observations per person, subject to attrition, and provide us with a pre- and post-pandemic panel of individuals.

Consumers and COVID-19

Ongoing survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland that asks consumers questions related to the recent coronavirus outbreak, including their expectations for how the economy is likely to be affected by the outbreak and how their own behavior has changed in response to it. The survey began in early March, providing a window into how consumers’ responses have evolved in real time since the early days of the acknowledged spread of COVID-19 in the United States. In updating and charting the survey’s findings on the Cleveland Fed’s website going forward, the researchers seek to inform policymakers and researchers about consumers’ beliefs during a time of high uncertainty and unprecedented policy responses.
The survey is administered on the Qualtrics survey platform, and Qualtrics recruits a nationally representative sample of participants to provide responses. All respondents are required to be US residents, fluent in English, and 18 or older.

Countering COVID-19: A European Survey on Acceptability and Commitment to Preventive Measures

The survey is covering over 7.500 individuals that are representative of the population in seven European countries with respect to region, age, gender and education. The fieldwork took place from April 2 to April 15 using an online questionnaire addressing such issues as people’s risk perceptions, support of containment policies, trust in information, worries, vaccination attitudes, and prevention behavior in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Within this project, the survey will be conducted again twice in May and in June.

COVID-19 is Rapidly Changing: Examining Public Perceptions and Behaviors in Response to this Evolving Pandemic.

The researchers conducted an online survey of Australian residents between 18 and 24 March 2020. Proportional quota sampling was used to ensure that respondents were demographically representative of the general public, with quotas based on age, gender and state/territory. Respondents were required to be 18 years or older and to speak English.
Respondents were asked to rate the perceived level of effectiveness in reducing the risk from COVID-19. These items included those promoted by the government and those that were not (mask use when not symptomatic, taking antibiotics). The strategies were grouped into: hygiene related behaviors (hand washing/sanitizing, cleaning surfaces) and avoidance-related behaviors (avoiding crowds, public transport, and complying with quarantine restrictions). Included was also a question that assessed the respondent’s ability to adopt to different social distancing strategies (working from home, keeping children home from school, avoiding travelling, avoiding large crowds, quarantine if exposed, and isolation if symptomatic. The last section of the survey included items focused on self-isolation. Respondents were asked to comment on their willingness to comply, their level of concern regarding the impact on being placed into self-isolation (at home), their ability to comply, their access to assistance from family/friends and issues they have with the strategy.

COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO)

The aim of the project is to repeatedly get an insight into how the population perceives the corona pandemic: how the “psychological situation” is emerging. The aim is to to monitor public perceptions of risk, protective and preparedness behaviors, public trust, as well as knowledge and misinformation to enable government spokespeople, the media, and health organizations to implement adequate responses. The study design allows rapid and adaptive monitoring of these variables over time and assessing the relations between risk perceptions, knowledge and misinformation to preparedness and protective behavior regarding COVID-19 in Germany.

The study participants are invited through an online panel provider. Every week, a representative distribution of the N = 1,000 respondents between the ages of 18-74 is selected based on the census data from Germany. Wave 1 interviewed 977 people. Quotations are made according to age / gender (crossed) and federal state (uncrossed).

COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey

Facebook provides weights to reduce nonresponse and coverage bias. Country and region-level statistics are published daily via public API and dashboards, and microdata is available for researchers via data use agreements. Over half a million responses are collected daily. Data for the United States is not included in the Global COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey but is available at covidcast.cmu.edu As of June 25, 2022, the COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey will no longer collect new survey data. Historical data will continue to be available.

COVID-19, Face Mask Usage and Cooperation

This study investigates the relationship between face mask usage and cooperative behaviour in the US population during the Covid-19 pandemic. Social preferences are assumed to be one of the main determining factors of face mask usage. However, the decision to wear a face mask in public could also signal the wearer’s latent political identity, subsequently altering other’s perception of the wearer’s willingness to cooperate. The bi-directional relationship between these two variables is investigated in a randomised online survey experiment.

DJI Childcare Study COVID-19 Add-on

The survey has been supplemented by a short additional module on the effects of the corona virus on the care of children up to primary school age since the beginning of the corona pandemic. Parents already interviewed at this time were also asked about the current changes in the care of their children due to corona as part of a follow-up study. In addition to the deviation from the "usual" care situation, the support received in organising childcare as well as changes in the parents' working behaviour will be surveyed. Over the field period from the end of March to the end of July 2020, the overall course of the collected information can provide information on the extent of the changes over time and the flexibility that families have to provide as well as the stabilisation of the care situation in the following months.
The DJI Childcare Study (KiBS) is an annual, representative survey of approx. 33,000 parents with children under the age of 12 years. Based on random samples from the residents' registration office, about 2,000 interviews are conducted in each federal state of Germany. The youngest age cohort, children under one year of age, is drawn each year anew, while the older children continue the panel survey. The parent principally caring for the child is interviewed; in more than 90 per cent of the interviews, this is the child's mother. The duration of a telephone interview (CATI) is about 20 minutes per person.

German Job Search Panel

The German Job Search Panel is a longitudinal survey that follows people who register as job seeking over the course of up to two years. The focus of the survey is on job seekers’ well-being and health. An innovative survey app is used to allow for frequent measurement every month and for conducting the experience sampling method. The collected data may be linked to administrative records of the Federal Employment Agency, provided that people give their consent. A subsample of surveyed job seekers took part in hair sampling to measure their cortisol levels. In this report, we describe the sampling procedure, adjustments over the recruitment period and the collected data. We moreover examine selective participation in the panel. It turns out that high-skilled workers, young individuals and women were more likely to sign up. Age increases the probability to take part in the hair sampling. People working in East Germany were more likely to consent to the linkage of survey data and administrative records.

Global Health 50/50 - Sex, Gender and COVID-19: Overview and Resources

As a key resource Global Health 50/50 COVID-19 Data Tracker collects and collates data reported by national governments. Cases and deaths are only reported when sex-disaggregated data is published by Governments. This means that sex-disaggregated data sometimes lag behind the figures for current infections and deaths and may only represent a portion of the overall confirmed cases or deaths within a country.
One can find sex-disaggregated data on confirmed cases, deaths, hospitalisations, ICU admissions, cases and deaths by age and sex and infections among healthcare workers. You can also find further information on why men appear to be dying at a higher rate than women, and some FAQs on COVID-19 data.

Haushaltskrisenbarometer

The most comprehensive evaluation of the corona crisis from the perspective of individual households: The Haushaltskrisenbarometer (Household Crisis Barometer) is supported by a cooperation between the Leibniz Institute for Financial Market Research SAFE, Nielsen-Frankfurt and the Chair of Finance and Economics at Goethe University Frankfurt.
The centerpiece is the evaluation of jointly developed questions that are answered every two weeks by the households of the Nielsen Consumer Panel. The high number of households surveyed continuously and the possibility of making the responses representative using statistical methods provide a reliable and timely picture of the economic situation, (consumption) behavior and expectations of the entire population. This is enriched by an insight into the actual purchasing behavior based on the purchases recorded for all households, and further background information.
The Nielsen Consumer Panel consists of around 20.000 households, of which around 16.000 are interviewed. These households have generally been members of the panel for years and submit all of their purchases in the Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) area every week.The inserted questions span a wide spectrum from the current economic situation to fears and expectations for the future (in German).

Risk Perception of COVID-19

An international survey to measure risk perception of COVID-19, and the influence of communications on that. The purpose of the study is to use this unique opportunity to assess the risk perception and associated behaviors of people across different countries to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
People were surveyed in 10 different countries around the world (United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Mexico, Japan, and South Korea). These countries were chosen for their cultural and geographic diversity and to represent countries at different stages of the pandemic, with different government policies. Data collection took place between mid-March and mid-April 2020. Participants were recruited through several different (online) platforms or agencies with ationally representative quota samples of the US and UK stratified by age, gender, and ethnicity. Also interlocking age and gender quotas were employed in all other countries to ensure broadly representative samples, with a target of 700 participants per country. The survey was conducted in a web browser via Qualtrics and took about 20 minutes to complete. Participants were paid £0.80-£2.05 ($1.00-$2.57), varying between countries. Participants completed the surveys in their native local language.

The Socio-Economic Impact (SEI) project focuses on data collection to support research on the short- and medium-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related (de)confinement measures in Luxembourg on individuals and their households in terms of work and living conditions, daily activities and mobility, and (not directly COVID-19 related) health and health behaviours. To that purpose, a large-scale survey has been developed which forms the basis for monitoring the impact of the outbreak and associated policy measures on (a) work and living conditions, (b) daily activities and mobility, (c) time use and household interactions and (d) health and health behaviours.
Phase 2 of the large-scale survey that was launched in March 2021 and examines the long-term effects of the crisis. Similar to the Phase 1 previous survey launched, this large online survey is aimed at all residents in Luxembourg aged 16 and over, whether they are workers, students, retirees, high school students. The survey is also accessible to cross-border workers, who have also been affected by this crisis. The survey covers health (physical and mental), employment and working patterns, daily activities, mobility, family interactions, etc.

SOEP-CoV

A sample of more than 12,000 people has been interviewed by telephone for SOEP-CoV since the beginning of April. A second survey will take place if the infection rate has decreased significantly. The starting point for the surveys is the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The samples are surveyed every two weeks (samples 1 to 5) or every week (samples 5 to 9) in order to record the chronological course of the crisis and the associated effects on private households. A total of 12,000 households were asked to participate in the "SOEP-CoV" study. At the beginning of the study, more households are surveyed than towards the end. With this design, the scientists take into account the assumption that the effects of the crisis are likely to be more severe at the beginning and to decrease over time (in German).

Survey of Acceptability of App-Based Contact Tracing in the UK, US, France, Germany and Italy

The research project conducted a multi-country, large-scale (N = 5.995) study to measure public support for digital contact tracing of COVID-19 infections. The study measured intentions to use a contact-tracing app across different installation regimes (voluntary installation vs. automatic installation by mobile phone providers), and studied how these intentions vary across individuals and countries.

Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE)

The Job Search Supplement to the Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE) administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been administered annually each October since 2013. The supplement asks a broad range of questions on one’s current employment state, job search activity, employment history, and work preferences (e.g., reservation wage, desired work hours). SCE data are for October of each year, so the 2020 survey elicits responses about six months after the initial spike in Covid cases and lockdown period, while the 2021 survey elicits responses between the major waves of the delta and omicron Covid variants and during a period of relatively strong labor market growth. The 2020 and 2021 SCE Job Search Supplements have additional survey questions that focus on issues specific to the Covid pandemic. These include follow-ups to its questions on reasons for not looking for work and reasons for part-time search that elicit whether the Covid pandemic accounted for these reasons and in what way (e.g., child care issues, fear of contracting the virus, caring for someone who was sick, etc.). The new questions also ask about schooling, online learning, and other aspects of the household that may affect the respondent’s labor supply decision.

The COVID-19 Research Database

The COVID-19 research database enables public health and policy researchers to use real-world data to better understand and combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The database is a pro-bono, cross-industry collaborative, composed of institutions donating technology service, healthcare expertise, and limited and de-identified data. The database is a public-private consortium organized by Datavant, Health Care Cost Institute, Medidata, Mirador Analytics, Veradigm, Change Healthcare, Snowflake and many others.
The database can be accessed by academic, scientific and medical researchers conducting real-world data studies related to COVID-19. Although researchers may come from any sector, only non-profit, non-commercial projects related to COVID-19 or pandemics will be considered. All results must be made publicly available, preferably through peer-reviewed publications. To get access, first register as a researcher on the homepage

The French SAPRIS Project

The SAPRIS project is a longitudinal general population survey designed to identify the epidemiological and social issues of the coronavirus public health crisis in France. It draws on the national general population cohorts, comprising a total of over 200,000 persons.
Research focuses include the incidence of COVID-19 symptoms and other health problems; whether or not people seek medical care; risk perception; the effects of infection prevention measures on daily life, social relations, and work; and trust in public and scientific recommendations. The impact of lockdown on children will also be studied, in terms of its effects on parent-child relations and leisure activities, particularly screen use; as well as home schooling conditions and children’s overall well-being in a situation of confinement (in French).

And to investigate how and why COVID-19 has affected these outcomes through rich information on individual characteristics such as risk avoidance behavior, saving, perceived economic uncertainty, and chronic health conditions,

UK Time-Use Diary Survey: The Click and Drag Diary Instrument (CaDDI)

In 2016 the Centre for Time Use Research has developed a new online Click and Drag Diary Instrument (CaDDI), collecting population-representative (quota sample) from a market research panel across 9 developed countries including the UK and the USA. They have fielded the same instrument with a similar UK sample, in May-June 2020 -at the peak period of lockdown-, providing a real-time comparison with 2016 behavior. Diaries were collected on 2 or 3 days per respondent (including one weekday and one weekend day), yielding approximately 1,000 diaries in each survey. Response quality was comparable to other on-line diaries, with a mean of 17 distinct episodes recorded each day, and with unusually low levels of missing primary activity,location and co-presence data.

Understanding Society: COVID-19 Study

From April 2020 participants from the main Understanding Society (UK Household Longitudinal Study UKHLS) sample have been asked to complete a short web-survey (telephone version if internet not available). This survey covers the changing impact of the pandemic on the welfare of UK individuals, families and wider communities. Participants complete one survey a month, which includes core content designed to track changes, alongside variable content adapted each month as the coronavirus situation develops. Each survey takes around 20 minutes to complete.
The survey forms an integral part of Understanding Society, a representative sample of UK households, with boost samples of Black and minority ethnic groups. Researchers can link data from the COVID-19 survey to answers respondents have given in past (and future) waves of the annual survey.
