National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS): Round 10 COVID-19 Supplement, [United States], 2020-2021 (ICPSR 39070)
Released/updated on: 2024-03-18
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2020-01-01--2021-01-01
The National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) began in 2011 and fosters research to guide efforts to reduce disability, maximize health and independent functioning, and enhance quality of life at older ages. NHATS aims to provide the basis for understanding trends in late-life functioning, how these differ for various population subgroups, and the economic and social consequences of aging and disability for individuals, families, and society. Between June 2020 and March 2021, NHATS conducted a supplemental mail study about participants' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adult family members and friends who helped NHATS participants were also surveyed about their experiences. The NHATS COVID-19 supplements covered topics such as symptoms of COVID-19, measures to limit spread of the virus, changes in living situations, contact with family and friends, other activities, grocery shopping, health care, finances, wellbeing, and help with daily activities. The ICPSR provides variable-level metadata for the data associated with this study. Users should consult the NHATS website for details on obtaining these resources.
