The restricted-use version of the data include geographic identifiers and variables for states (N = 51) and counties (N = 1,802). The public-use data have these variables masked.
Users may notice inconsistencies between the section names as reported in the P.I. Codebook and Questionnaire. No additional information was provided.
The purpose of this study was to develop an overall understanding of wellbeing of adults aged 18 to 64 in the United States.
Sample participants were recruited online through Qualtrics Panels. The sample design included an oversample of rural residents; 25.2 percent of respondents (N = 1,935) reside in a non-metropolitan county.
Non-probability, opt-in, online panel of 7,644 adults in the United States administered through Qualtrics Panels.
Noninstitutionalized adults in the United States who ranged in age from 18 to 64 years old and who were able to read English.
The variables in this study pertain to psychosocial wellbeing, social relationships and support, participation in social activities, physical health, mental health, health behaviors, health care use, employment quality and experiences, COVID-19 experiences, socioeconomic measures, political orientation, and demographic measures (race/ethnicity, sex/gender, and age).
Qualtrics sent a request to complete the survey to 77,606 email addresses. The overall quality survey completion rate among those who were sent the email was 9.8 percent and the overall quality survey completion rate among those who accessed the survey landing page was 10.5 percent.

2024-05-30 Question text was added to the public-use ICPSR codebook (DS1) and to the SSVD.
A post-stratification final person weight (FINAL_WGT) is included to make the analyses nationally representative of the non-institutionalized United States working-age population (ages 18-64) by age, sex, race, Hispanic ethnicity, educational attainment, and rural-urban continuum. Educational attainment was not incorporated into the weight for respondents ages 18-24. Because of the rural oversample built into the sampling design, users should apply the weight to all analyses.
