National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) COVID-19 Study: Survey Questionnaire
Source: NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC)Date Published: 9/14/2020Format: PDFAnnotation: This is a brief self-report questionnaire that probes how the coronavirus pandemic has changed older adults' lives. It is designed to be administered via web survey, phone interview, or paper-and-pencil mail-back instrument. The questionnaire was designed for respondents in the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP) (https://www.norc.org/Research/Projects/Pages/national-social-life-health-and-aging-project.aspx ), on whom considerable background information is already available. This questionnaire is thus limited to assessing specific domains in which respondents may have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, and includes: (1) COVID experiences, (2) health and health care, (3) job and finances, (4) social support, (5) marital status and relationship quality, (6) social activity and engagement, (7) living arrangements, (8) household composition and size, (9) mental health, (10) elder mistreatment, (11) health behaviors, and (12) positive impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Questions about engagement in racial justice issues since the death of George Floyd in police custody were also added to facilitate analysis of the independent and compounding effects of both the COVID-19 pandemic and reckoning with longstanding racial injustice in America.
Questions Adapted From:
The following questions were adapted from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) 2020: COVID experiences (Q1-3), health care (Q6), job and finances (Q10), social support (Q13-16), social relationship quality (Q20), and living arrangements (Q32-33, 35-36).
The following questions were adapted from previous National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP) rounds: physical health (Q4), marital status (Q17) and relationship quality (Q18), mental health (Q39-40, 44-48), elder mistreatment (Q49-50), and health behaviors (Q52, 54-55, 57, 59).
Items about social activity and engagement (Q21-24, 26-29) were adapted from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) COVID-19 Questionnaire. o An item about change in marital quality (Q19) was adapted from the Monmouth University Poll.
Two items (Q42-43) were adapted from the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item scale. Citation: Kroenke K, Spitzer RL, Williams JB, Monahan PO, Löwe B. Anxiety disorders in primary care: prevalence, impairment, comorbidity, and detection. Ann Intern Med. 2007;146:317-25.
Items about the positive impacts of the pandemic (Q60-61) were adapted from the Coronavirus Health Impact Survey (CRISIS) and the COVID Response Tracking Study.
Items about household composition and size (Q37-38) were also adapted from the COVID Response Tracking Study.

Cyber-Abuse Research Initiative (CARI) COVID19 Impact on Domestic Abuse
Source: NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC)Date Published: 4/2020Format: PDFAnnotation: Through the collection of nationally representative information on the scope and nature of technology-facilitated abuse (both victimization and perpetration), survivors' help-seeking and access to services, and unmet needs, this study is designed to support the development of policies, protocols, programs, and services that limit the incidence of technology-facilitated abuse and strengthen law enforcement and victim services program responses to victimization with scientific data. The CARI study will be fielded in the summer of 2020, with longitudinal data collection planned. Given the current conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, items measuring interpersonal conflict and abuse in domestic settings have been prepared for the field.
Basic study parameters (planned recruitment/administration summer 2020): Sociodemographics: Nationally representative sampling frame (https://amerispeak.norc.org/Pages/default.aspx) with oversamples of female, Black, and Hispanic respondents ages 18-35: Male Female Total White/other 920 1,300 2,220 Black 350 540 890 Hispanic 350 540 890 Total 1,620 2,380 3,500 Modality: AmeriSpeak respondents are free to specify their modality preference on each survey. NORC's data collection system supports both web and phone modes (optimized presentation for smartphone respondents). Among younger adults, the vast majority choose to respond via web modality. Design: Designed for longitudinal data collection. Currently funded for cross-sectional data collection. Preliminary Testing: Developed with review of researcher and practitioner experts in violence measurement; pretested with young adult survivors and with university students.
