Annotation:This web page details the results of the latest Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking poll, conducted March 25-30, 2020, which found that as many cities and states were issuing public health guidance requiring social distancing or shelter-in-place measures, seven in 10 Americans (72 percent) said their lives have been disrupted “a lot” or “some” by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The vast majority of the public say U.S. policy should be prioritizing the slowing down of the spread of the coronavirus rather than the U.S. economy.

Annotation:This questionnaire was developed by expert opinion. It will be used in two studies: the Study of Muscle Mobility and Aging (SOMMA), a study that is currently enrolling men and women age 70 and older to determine the biologic role of muscle in development of mobility disability, and the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS Study), an ongoing multicenter cohort study of healthy aging of older men, with a particular focus on osteoporosis. MrOS men were initially enrolled in 2000-2002 and are all now in their mid-80s or older. In each study, organizers hope to administer the questionnaire two or three times over the coming months, along with select other repeated data from the cohorts (e.g., fall incidence, mobility function, activity level).

Annotation:The CRISIS Survey is designed to enable researchers and care providers to examine the extent and impact of life changes induced by the COVID-19 epidemic on the mental health and behavior of individuals and families across diverse international settings. This data may enable the identification of pre-, peri, and post-COVID-19 demographic, social, and clinical predictors of both short- and long-term impairment and distress induced by COVID-19 and its sequelae. The survey is designed to allow for follow-ups on a regular basis, with recommended frequencies of twice monthly or monthly. To facilitate multicultural perspectives, translations in a broad range of languages are available. Download surveys in PDF or Word Format, via GitHub, or via REDCap.

Annotation:The Epidemic–Pandemic Impacts Inventory (EPII; Grasso, Briggs-Gowan, Ford, & Carter, 2020) is a newly developed measure designed to study the impact of the coronavirus disease pandemic COVID-19 (and future epidemics/pandemics) on various domains of personal and family life. Items assess impact in areas that include: Work and Employment, Education and Training, Home Life, Social Activities, Economic, Emotional Health and Wellbeing, Physical Health Problems, Physical Distancing and Quarantine, Infection History, and Positive Change. Items follow a simple response set of Yes (me), Yes (person in home), No, and N/A. Although not yet evaluated, data collection is ongoing, and as of today, over 30 research teams (nationally and internationally) are incorporating the EPII into studies of various populations. Authors are from University of Connecticut School of Medicine and University of Massachusetts.
Annotation:The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) COVID-19 Task Force led the development of the ECHO COVID-19 questionnaires. The Task Force, co-chaired by ECHO investigators Tracy Bastain, PhD, and Carrie Breton, PhD, of the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, and comprised of 21 additional cohort investigators, as well as representatives from the ECHO NIH Program Office, Coordinating Center (CC), Data Analysis Center (DAC), and Person-Reported Outcome (PRO) Core, developed questionnaires for pregnant women and caregivers, children ages 0 to 12 years old (via parent report), and adolescents ages 13 years and older (via self-report). The purpose of these questionnaires is to assess the impact of being infected with and living during the time of the COVID-19 outbreak. Questionnaire content includes original items developed by the Task Force, as well as modified items from existing surveys and source materials listed in the access notes.
Annotation:The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Aged Children (KSADS) is a widely used and well validated diagnostic interview for children and adolescents. The PTSD trauma screen items from the KSADS-COMP have been revised to capture COVID-19-specific traumas.
