Policy and communication responses to COVID-19 can benefit from better understanding of people's baseline and resulting beliefs, behaviours and norms. From July 2020 to March 2021, we fielded a global survey on these topics in 67 countries yielding over 2 million responses. This paper provides an overview of the motivation behind the survey design, details the sampling and weighting designed to make the results representative of populations of interest and presents some insights learned from the survey. Several studies have already used the survey data to analyse risk perception, attitudes towards mask wearing and other preventive behaviours, as well as trust in information sources across communities worldwide. This resource can open new areas of enquiry in public health, communication and economic policy by leveraging large-scale, rich survey datasets on beliefs, behaviours and norms during a global pandemic.
应对 COVID-19 的政策和沟通可以从更好地了解人们的基本信念、行为和规范中受益。从 2020 年 7 月到 2021 年 3 月，我们在 67 个国家进行了一项关于这些主题的全球调查，收到了超过 200 万份回复。本文概述了调查设计背后的动机，详细介绍了旨在使结果具有代表性的抽样和加权方法，并介绍了从调查中获得的一些见解。几项研究已经使用调查数据来分析风险感知、对戴口罩和其他预防行为的态度，以及对全球社区信息来源的信任。通过利用大流行期间关于信念、行为和规范的大规模、丰富的调查数据集，这一资源可以在公共卫生、传播和经济政策领域开辟新的研究领域。
