IN-PERSON SURVEY (IPS) 2020-21 COVID-19 SUPPLEMENT

Now I am going to ask some questions about life during the COVID-19. Sometimes it’s called
Coronavirus. COVID-19 first appeared and started making people sick in the US around
February 2020. Many people had to stay home and not see friends and family to keep from
getting sick or spreading coronavirus to other people.
1. PERSON ONLY: Have you heard of COVID-19 (also known as
coronavirus)?
□ 2. Yes
□ 1. No
□ 3. Maybe
No proxy response □ 99. Don’t know, no response, unclear response
permitted

Because of COVID-19, starting around March 2020, a lot of people had to make changes in
their daily life and routines. For example, a lot of people had to stay home, they couldn’t go
to their work or day program and couldn’t go out to see family and friends or go into the
community as much.

We’ll call that time “COVID time.”

For some people, COVID time might still be happening, even just in part.

And for some other people, COVID time might be completely over.

Note to surveyor: Please try to adapt wording of questions to reflect the current experience of
the person being surveyed. For example, if the person is still experiencing effects of the
coronavirus lock-down, and the written question says: “During COVID time, did you use….”
please change the wording to “During COVID time, have you used….”
