Description
Summary:Policy and communication responses to COVID-19 can benefit from better understanding of people’s baseline and resulting beliefs, behaviours and norms. From July 2020 to March 2021, we fielded a global survey on these topics in 67 countries yielding over 2 million responses. This paper provides an overview of the motivation behind the survey design, details the sampling and weighting designed to make the results representative of populations of interest and presents some insights learned from the survey. Several studies have already used the survey data to analyse risk perception, attitudes towards mask wearing and other preventive behaviours, as well as trust in information sources across communities worldwide. This resource can open new areas of enquiry in public health, communication and economic policy by leveraging large-scale, rich survey datasets on beliefs, behaviours and norms during a global pandemic. This Resource describes the data from a survey on COVID-19 related behaviours, beliefs and norms. From July 2020 to March 2021, the authors fielded a global survey on people’s baseline beliefs, behaviours and norms related to COVID-19 in 67 countries, yielding over 2 million responses.
