Abstract

Policy and communication responses to COVID-19 can benefit from better understanding of people's baseline and resulting beliefs, behaviors, and norms. We fielded a global survey on these topics. This report provides an overview of the motivation behind the survey design, outlines the survey content and its representation in the respondent-level data, and details the sampling and weighting designed to make the results representative of populations of interest.
