    Date Published: 5/21/2020
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: This is a self-report, online-based questionnaire designed for use with seropositivity testing and administered via Qualtrics to assess exposure to COVID-19 and modifying factors, such as mask usage, in: (1) the residence and household; (2) while taking transportation; and (3) through work and employment. Modules included in survey: I. Introduction. The first section includes three questions related to concerns about exposure to COVID-19 in the home, while using typical forms of transportation, and in the workplace (questions 2 through 4). II. About You. This second section includes up to 13 questions on demographic factors and the survey-taker's experience with COVID-19 testing (questions 6 through 18). III. Residence and Household. This third section includes up to 14 questions about the type and size of the residence, number and ages of other household members, and COVID-19 infection histories of the other household members (questions 20 through 33). IV. Transportation. This fourth section includes up to seven questions about the frequency of activities outside of the home (work/employment, outdoor exercise and recreation, essential errands, and personal and social activities), and the type of transportation used for those activities. If the survey-taker reports use of public transportation, they are asked about mask usage and social distancing while on public transportation (questions 35 through 41). V. Work and Employment (General). This section includes up to four questions about occupation, industry, and work for pay since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (questions 43 through 46). VI.

In particular, survey-takers are asked about hours worked per week, the percent of remote work performed, contact with the public, contact with co-workers, PPE usage, and employer COVID-19 policies (questions 47 through 59).

    Source: Harvard University, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
    Date Published: 5/29/2018
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: To develop a more accurate estimate of deaths attributed to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, a team led by Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health epidemiologists conducted a randomized community household survey in Puerto Rico in 2017-2018. Respondents were asked about displacement, infrastructure loss, and causes of death. The survey instrument can be found in Section I of the Supplementary Appendix in Kishore N, Marques D, Mahmud A, et al. Mortality in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. N Engl J Med. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMsa1803972. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
