Expansion of 2020 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey to Include COVID-19

This grant will enable SSRS to incorporate the newly developed COVID-19 supplement into the 2020 International Health Policy Survey questionnaire. Fund staff, SSRS, and country partners have codeveloped the COVID-19 questions. SSRS and other data collection partners will translate and program the COVID-19 supplemental questions into the existing 2020 IHP questionnaire. SSRS estimates that only a portion of respondents will receive the supplemental questions, given where countries are currently in their data collection process. The project will fund adding the supplemental questions in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as in Norway and the Netherlands. France, Germany, and Sweden will fund themselves incorporating all or some of the COVID-19 supplement.
