Abstract

Policy and communication responses to COVID-19 can benefit from better understanding of people's baseline and resulting beliefs, behaviors, and norms. From July 2020 to March 2021, we fielded a global survey on these topics in 67 countries yielding over 2.0 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 analyze risk perception, attitudes towards mask wearing and other preventative behaviors, as well as trust in information sources across communities worldwide. This resource can open new areas of inquiry in public health, communication, and economic policy by leveraging one of the first ever large-scale, rich survey data on beliefs, behaviors, and norms during a global pandemic in new and innovative ways.
