COVID-19 and the Experiences of Populations at Greater Risk: Wave 1 General Population, United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38736)
In the context of COVID-19, RAND and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have partnered to build from the National Survey of Health Attitudes to implement a longitudinal survey to understand how health views and values have been affected by the experience of the pandemic, with particular focus on populations deemed vulnerable or underserved, including people of color and those from low-to moderate-income backgrounds.
Questions in this COVID-19 survey focused specifically on experiences related to the pandemic (e.g., financial, physical, emotional), how respondents viewed the disproportionate impacts of the pandemic, whether and how respondents' views and priorities regarding health actions and investments are changing (including the roles of government and the private sector), and how general values about such issues as freedom and racism may be related to pandemic views and response expectations.

Demographic information includes sex, marital status, household size, race and ethnicity, family income, employment status, age, and census region.
