Socializing and Covid

Q1COVID  Socializing and Covid

OVERVIEW

The Socializing and covid module includes repeated measures from prior waves
about the frequency of socializing and measures asking about the Covid-19
pandemic that are unique to the timing of this wave of the study. Note that
some of the questions in this module were added during fielding so some people
were not asked all of the questions.  Please see notes under individual
measures for details.

Note: In prior waves we collected a complete household roster and created a summary measure (eg. h001he) for the total number of occupants in the home. Therefore these prior measures have the value 1 for people living alone. Because we ask the number of people R lives with, people who live alone will have the value zero.
