CovidWatcher Surveys

These surveys are meant to inform both community organizations, government, and hospitals what you need to deal with the impact of COVID-19. What is/isn’t working for you, your family, and your community?

YOU can help inform decision-makers in all New York City institutions that impact your life. Please fill out these surveys monthly and provide leaders what they need most right now — information.

All surveys can be taken anonymously. We ask that you take these surveys monthly so you can tell us how your needs change through time. If you prefer, you can answer the same surveys through the CovidWatcher app (on iOS or Android).

To begin, take the baseline survey:

Your Medical Needs

During the pandemic, emotional health is affected and existing health conditions do not stop. Take these surveys weekly to let us know about your health and wellbeing needs outside of COVID-19. Each survey take 3-5 minutes to answer.

Your Resource Needs

The pandemic might affect your access to resources you would otherwise would rely on, or bring new needs. Take these surveys weekly to let us know about your access to different resources and how this changes throughout the pandemic. Each survey takes 3-5 minutes to answer.

COVID-19 Symptoms and Testing

Share whether you experience any symptoms, testing, and exposures. This daily survey takes 1-3 minutes to answer. 
The Sense of Smell survey is long (but fun!) and is all about your sense of smell in COVID times.

Your Behavior during the Pandemic

 Take these surveys weekly to let us know about your behaviors and how they change throughout the pandemic. Each survey takes 3-5 minutes to answer.
