COVID-19 Current Events Tracker (CET)

ASPA COVID-19 PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

A campaign to increase vaccine acceptance and reinforce basic prevention measures

CET – Annotated Questionnaire (Wave 59)

Note: The questions below are the proposed questions for the 59th wave of the Weekly Current Events Tracker (CET). Questions highlighted in yellow will be asked every week; questions highlighted in blue will be rotated into the survey on a monthly basis; and questions highlighted in green are meant to be asked in this wave only or are being asked again to update data on a variable of interest. We will be fielding questions about COVID and testing experiences, changing pandemic behaviors, and knowledge of the ending of uninsured COVID care.

For the next section we would like to talk about current events.
