COVID-19 and the Experiences of Populations at Greater Risk: Wave 1 General Population, United States, 2020-2021

The objectives of this survey were: 1. To understand the experience of COVID-19, with particular focus on underserved populations, especially in terms of income and race and ethnicity 2. To examine how these populations may be thinking about COVID-19 in the context of health mindset and expectations, the role of government versus the private sector, and health equity and to explore how this thinking evolves as communities continue to experience impacts but also recover 3. To identify, over time, whether American views about health and health equity have evolved and, in short, assess whether the progress toward a Culture of Health has evolved (e.g., greater understanding of what influences health, the existence of health inequities, the willingness and action to engage civically for health).
