SPRC19: State Policy Responses to COVID-19 Database

SPRC19 seeks to document as completely as possible all U.S. state policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes all policy actions originating from the executive (governor’s office as well as executive agencies), legislative, and judicial branches. An action represents any change in current COVID-19 policy set at the state level. Actions are identified by reading through source documents collected from state websites and other sources according to their effects on any of over two hundred different policy areas. Each action is coded on a variety of features. These include its policy topic area, the branch that made the action, the announcement date, the effective date, an expiration date (if given), and the relationship to prior actions in the same policy area. To access the data and documentation quickly, search the Table view for \"SPRC19\" or switch to the Tree view. SPRC19 contains over 40,000 policy actions covering over 200 different policy areas. The current version is completed through December 31, 2020. We are currently in the process of updating through March 2021. The current release extends the previous release by adding actions from September through December 2020. The SPRC19 database was assembled with the support of the National Science Foundation through the following grants (grants #1558509, #1637095, #1558661, #1558781, #1558561, #2028724, #2028675, and #2028674, #2148216) and the NIH (grant #1R21AI164391-01).

SPRC19数据集旨在尽可能全面地收录美国各州针对COVID-19疫情出台的所有政策应对举措。该数据集涵盖行政部门（州长办公室及行政机构）、立法部门与司法部门出台的所有相关政策举措。单条政策举措指州层面现行COVID-19政策的任何调整。研究人员通过梳理从州政府官网及其他渠道收集的源文件，依据举措对两百余个不同政策领域的影响来识别每条政策举措。每条举措均会针对多项特征进行编码，包括政策主题领域、出台举措的部门、公告日期、生效日期、终止日期（如已明确给出）以及与同一政策领域既往举措的关联关系。若需快速获取该数据集与配套文档，可在表格视图中检索"SPRC19"，或切换至树形视图。SPRC19数据集共收录四万余条政策举措，覆盖两百余个不同政策领域。当前版本的数据收录截止至2020年12月31日，目前项目团队正将数据更新至2021年3月。本次发布通过新增2020年9月至12月的政策举措，对既往发布版本进行了扩充。SPRC19数据集的汇编工作得到了美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）下述项目资助（资助编号：#1558509、#1637095、#1558661、#1558781、#1558561、#2028724、#2028675、#2028674及#2148216）以及美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助项目#1R21AI164391-01的支持。
