PVCOVID - Public Reviews During the Coronavirus Pandemic

This project examines the changes in people’s COVID-19 health behaviours over time. This includes testing, self-isolation, facemask wearing and mixing socially. It also looks at how the public view symptoms like colds, sore throats, and fever, which might be related to COVID-19, and what they do in response to the symptoms.

With the aim of exploring whether and how people in certain population groups may experience the transition out of the pandemic differently, this research has a particular focus on those in Black and Asian Minority Ethnic communities, those in the most deprived communities, and those who are elderly or clinically vulnerable.

This continues the PVCOVID project which has been conducting focus groups and surveys since March 2020.
