National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) COVID-19 Questionnaires
Source: Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public HealthDate Published: 6/20/2020Format: PDFAnnotation: This set of questionnaires was used in a supplemental mail study of the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) conducted in 2020. The questionnaires aim to assess experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak of: 1) NHATS participants (ages 70 and older) and 2) the up to two adult family members and friends who helped NHATS participants the most during the outbreak. Two types of mail questionnaires were administered: 1) questionnaires designed for NHATS participants or their proxy respondents (SP / proxy) and 2) questionnaires designed for adult family members and friends (FF) who helped NHATS participants. The SP questionnaires includes 13 sections. Topics cover symptoms of COVID-19, measures taken to limit spread of the virus, and changes during the pandemic in the NHATS participants' living situation, contact with family and friends, productive activities (e.g., work, volunteering, caregiving), grocery shopping, health care, finances, wellbeing and daily activities. Participants were also asked to provide contact information for the two adult family members or friends who helped most during the outbreak. The FF questionnaire includes 17 sections, many of which align with the sections in the SP/Proxy questionnaires. In addition, the FF questionnaire asks about the FF's relationship with the NHATS participant, help given to the NHATS participant before and during the outbreak and reasons for helping. For those who helped for health or functioning reasons, three additional sections about caregiving are included: time spent helping the NHATS participant, dementia caregiving (if help is memory related) and helping challenges and supports.

JHU COVID-19 Community Response Survey
Source: Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public HealthDate Published: 4/25/2020Format: PDFAnnotation: The goal of this toolkit is to provide a set of standardized quantitative and qualitative assessments to harmonize data collection efforts and facilitate comparisons of the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and promote collaborations across research efforts. This is intended to be a dynamic resource that will evolve as the epidemic does. These modules were created with a broad sample in mind. The goal was to develop a set of modules that could be applied to multiple populations with some minor tweaks. They can be used cross-sectionally or longitudinally and are designed for a newly selected sample (e.g., include information on basic demographics). The survey asks questions about possible exposure to the virus, experiences with testing and treatment, and some questions about how life has changed as a result of COVID-19 and the preventive measures that have been put in place.
