A group of researchers from the Department of Economics and the School of Public Policy of the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) and Indiana University are developing a study that examines the impacts of COVID-19 on households.
They have created an extensive survey that includes questions on several areas of investigation: impacts on finances, food security, physical and mental health, as well as the effects that school and daycare disruptions are having on work and family lives. This study aims at informing equitable policy interventions and resilience plans.
The survey targets households.
