  1. Health and Retirement Study: Core Interview COVID-19 Module
    Source: University of Michigan
    Date Published: 9/11/2020
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: As a longitudinal study with rich measurement across a large number of social, health, and economic domains, the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) was designed to capture the impact of unexpected societal events, even without additional measurement specific to the event. To complement these longitudinal measures, HRS has developed several areas of content specifically in response to the coronavirus pandemic designed to dovetail with existing assessment. Information on lifestyle and psychosocial functioning is collected through a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). Additional questions in the psychosocial SAQ were added to the 2020 wave of data collection. These questions obtain information on lifestyle, personal relationships, work, and feelings in response to the pandemic. These questions cover five subtopics: 1) pandemic-specific concerns related to health, finances, friends and family, and the future; 2) changes in social contact with family and friends, including social support given and received and changes in relationship quality; 3) impact on activities including pandemic-specific behaviors such as wearing a mask, washing hands, social distancing, and using hand sanitizer; 4) additional questions about work status that indicate if the respondent was an essential worker and whether or not they could work at home during the pandemic; and 5) emotional well-being, resilience, and coping during the pandemic.

  2. Coronavirus Disability Survey (COV-DIS)
    Source: University of Michigan
    Date Published: 5/2020
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The Coronavirus Disability Survey (COV-DIS) was developed by the University of Michigan Center for Disability Health and Wellness in order to learn about the experiences of persons with disabilities (PWD) during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The psychometric properties of the COV-DIS have not yet been established, but will be disseminated publicly in the future. The objective of the COV-DIS is to provide critical data on the experiences of PWDs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of many adverse health and disability outcomes is elevated in PWDs. The COV-DIS specifically measures general and psychological well-being, difficulty performing activities and instrumental activities of daily living, employment and financial challenges, and difficulty accessing transportation and information. The COVID-19 pandemic and legally mandated social distancing measures have the potential to exacerbate challenges in each of these domains for the population at large, but particularly for PWDs. Data that are acquired using the COV-DIS may be helpful for attending to the needs and challenges faced by PWDs during the current pandemic, as well as for planning for responses to future waves of COVID-19 and other high-impact societal stressors.

    Questions Adapted From: Several items on the COV-DIS were adapted from survey items from the Understanding America Study (UAS), the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study, and the Study of Muscle, Mobility, and Aging (SOMMA) with permission from study investigators, as well as from the RAND 36-item Short Form Survey, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-2.
