The primary objective of this project was to develop a comprehensive COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions' index for the province of Québec (QCnPI-Index). The resulting database systematically categorizes, multiple non-pharmaceutical interventions implemented in the 17 administrative regions (AR) of the province of Québec to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the form of an index.
Data represent interventions and groups of interventions implemented during the COVID-19 period in Québec. They are a compilation of policies, guidelines, and governmental interventions related to COVID-19, considering temporal and geographical dimensions. Data were collected for all 17 AR of Québec using dates as unit of analysis, from March 2020 to April 2022. They were first collected and then coded by an interdisciplinary research team to form the foundation of the QCnPI-Index.
This quantitative instrument offers the necessary granularity for nuanced spatial and temporal studies within the province of Québec, using AR, for instance, as unit of analysis. With this database, pre-, during-, and post-COVID periods can thus be better analyzed. Additionally, the innovative methodologies employed for data collection, coding, and weighting offer valuable insights that may have broader applications in public health, epidemiology, and other research domains. The QCnPI-Index could be instrumental for public health, epidemiology, and transportation researchers investigating the multifaceted impacts of non-pharmaceutical interventions on various societal domains, such as road safety, alcohol and cannabis consumption, and/or mental health, in the province of Québec.
本项目的主要目标是为魁北克省开发一个全面的新冠疫情非药物干预指数（QCnPI指数）。生成的数据库以指数形式系统地对魁北克省17个行政区实施的多种非药物干预措施进行分类，以减轻新冠疫情的传播。
数据代表了魁北克省在新冠疫情期间实施的干预措施和干预措施组。它们是与新冠疫情相关的政策、指南和政府干预措施的汇编，考虑了时间和地理维度。使用日期作为分析单位，收集了魁北克省所有17个行政区从2020年3月到2022年4月的数据。这些数据首先被收集，然后由一个跨学科研究团队进行编码，以形成QCnPI指数的基础。
这个定量工具为魁北克省内细致入微的时空研究提供了必要的粒度，例如以行政区作为分析单位。有了这个数据库，就可以更好地分析新冠疫情前、期间和之后的时期。此外，用于数据收集、编码和加权的创新方法提供了有价值的见解，可能在公共卫生、流行病学和其他研究领域有更广泛的应用。QCnPI指数对于公共卫生、流行病学和交通研究人员调查非药物干预对魁北克省各个社会领域（如道路安全、酒精和大麻消费以及/或心理健康）的多方面影响可能会有帮助。
