Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey, United States, 2020

In December 2017, the Urban Institute launched the Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey (WBNS), a nationally representative, internet-based survey of non-elderly adults designed to monitor changes in individual and family well-being during a time when policymakers are considering significant changes to federal safety net programs serving low-income families. The 2020 round of the survey collects information on a broad array of topics related to health, material hardship, and the safety net, including health insurance, housing, food security, employment, family income, program participation, family financial security, disability, school enrollment, child care, COVID-19 vaccine attitudes, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on family employment, and immigration issues.

2017年12月，城市研究所（Urban Institute）正式推出福祉与基本需求调查（Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey，简称WBNS）。该调查为面向非老年成年人的全国代表性互联网调研，旨在监测政策制定者正考虑大幅调整面向低收入家庭的联邦社会安全网项目期间，个人与家庭福祉的变化情况。2020年度调查轮次收集了覆盖健康、物质匮乏、社会安全网相关的多类主题信息，具体涵盖健康保险、住房保障、粮食安全、就业状况、家庭收入、项目参与情况、家庭财务安全、残疾状况、入学情况、儿童保育、新冠疫苗接种态度、新冠疫情对家庭就业的影响，以及移民议题等内容。
