Survey on Subjective Quality of Life Measures during the COVID-19 Pandemic
This survey contains a series of questions on various topics related to social connection/isolation, psychological well-being, health, and personal beliefs. The majority of these questions have been adapted for use from previous surveys on quality of life and social connectedness /social isolation research by the UK Government Statistical Service, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Institute, and the WHO. A few additional questions have been designed specifically to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the general public adapts to the social distancing, and isolation measures that have been implemented to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, a unique opportunity presents itself to analyse the impact of these changes. This survey is confidential. Personally identifying information such as your name, address, or email will not be stored. Thank you in advance for your time! Your contribution is greatly appreciated!
