ABSTRACT
In the social and behavioral sciences, surveys are frequently used to collect data. During the COVID-19 pandemic, surveys provided political actors and public health professionals with timely insights on the attitudes and behaviors of the general population. These insights were key in guiding actions to fight the pandemic. However, the data quality of these surveys remains unclear because systematic knowledge about how the survey data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic is lacking. This is unfortunate, since decades of survey research have shown that survey design impacts data. Our Survey Data Collection and the COVID-19 Pandemic (SDCCP) project deals with this research gap. We collected rich metadata on survey design for 717 social and behavioral science surveys carried out in Germany during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this data descriptor, we present a unique resource for a systematic assessment of the survey data collection practices and quality of surveys conducted in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic.
