A consortium of population health researchers, led by researchers at University of Bristol and Edinburgh, have developed several. They are designed to help researchers explore changes using the same validated questions to the lives of cohort participants in the UK and elsewhere.

Thequestionnaires are freely available to population health researchers to address health, behaviour, social, environmental and economic questions in the context of the pandemic.

The first questionnaire asks about COVID-19 signs and symptoms, and more broadly about the effect of lockdown on physical and mental health and overall wellbeing. The second questionnaire builds on the first and includes neighbourhood issues, domestic violence, alcohol use, healthcare, thoughts on the lockdown and new connections made during the pandemic. The group continues to expand the questionnaire bank as the pandemic unfolds.

TheWellcomeCovid-19 questionnaires draws on evidence for across the UK in our villages, towns and cities and across the life-course. It feeds directly into the Longitudinal Health and WellbeingNational Core Study and will provide anexampleof cross-study working for the  Population Research UK initiative, which 51 is scoping the development of on behalf of ESRC, MRC andWellcome.
