URL: https://www2.census.gov/data/experimental-data-products/household-pulse-survey/household-pulse-survey-questionaire.pdf

Collection: Global Health Events web archive

Description: The Household Pulse Survey was conducted in two phases. The survey has been designed as an experimental endeavor by the Census Bureau in cooperation with five other federal agencies to provide critical, up-to-date information about the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the U.S. population. Question domains were contributed by the Census Bureau, Economic Research Service (ERS), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and the Department of Housing (HUD) to measure employment status, consumer spending, food security, housing, education disruptions, and basic dimensions of health. Many of the questions that will be asked on this survey have been fielded on other surveys in the past. However some are new, designed to explore potential impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These latter questions have been and continue to be cognitively tested. Questions may be modified slightly based on findings in this process.
