The C19PRC study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the adult population of the UK, Republic of Ireland, and Spain. This paper describes the conduct of the first two waves of the UK survey (the "parent" strand of the Consortium) during March-April 2020.
A longitudinal, internet panel survey was designed to assess: (1) COVID-19 related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; (2) the occurrence of common mental health disorders as well as the role of (3) psychological factors and (4) social and political attitudes, in influencing the public's response to the pandemic. Quota sampling (age, sex, and household income) was used to recruit a nationally representative sample of adults.
Two thousand and twenty five adults were recruited at baseline, and 1406 were followed-up one-month later (69.4% retention rate). The baseline sample was representative of the UK population in relation to economic activity, ethnicity, and household composition. Attrition was predicted by key socio-demographic characteristics, and an inverse probability weighting procedure was employed to ensure the follow-up sample was representative of the baseline sample.
The C19PRC study data has strong generalizability to facilitate and stimulate interdisciplinary research on important public health questions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
C19PRC 研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行对英国、爱尔兰共和国和西班牙成年人群的影响。本文描述了 2020 年 3 月至 4 月期间进行的英国调查的前两波（联盟的“母体”部分）的情况。
设计了一项纵向、互联网小组调查，以评估：（1）与 COVID-19 相关的知识、态度和行为；（2）常见心理健康障碍的发生情况，以及（3）心理因素和（4）社会和政治态度在影响公众对大流行的反应方面的作用。配额抽样（年龄、性别和家庭收入）用于招募具有代表性的成年人。
在基线时招募了 2025 名成年人，其中 1406 名在一个月后进行了随访（保留率为 69.4%）。基线样本在经济活动、族裔和家庭构成方面与英国人口具有代表性。失访由关键的社会人口特征预测，采用逆概率加权程序以确保随访样本具有代表性。
C19PRC 研究数据具有很强的通用性，有助于促进和激发与 COVID-19 大流行相关的重要公共卫生问题的跨学科研究。
