Research Projects

The COVID-Dynamic Study is built around centralized participant enrollment, data-collection, and data-cleaning pipeline. Quality metrics generated through the data-cleaning pipeline are included in distribution of data.

We provide information about the specific measures collected at each wave (time-point) from April through January, in addition to a detailed COVID-Dynamic Data Dictionary (updated April 13, 2023) and zip folder containing the measures as administered via Qualtrics.
