COVID-CAWI WAVES 1 and 2

The COVID-CAWI survey was initiated, developed and conducted as part of a collective research project by Gabriela Yordanova and Ekaterina Markova: "Challenges to Quantitative Empirical Research in Social Emergencies: The Case of Covid-19" at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IPS-BAS). The COVID-CAWI was conducted using a Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) in two waves, which coincided with the periods of restrictive measures introduced in Bulgaria due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In both waves, the sampling procedure is without replacement – controlled through the CAWI instrument design, and further verified through a data cleaning procedure.

Both datafiles include fully anonymised row data, user friendly lists of variable labels in Bulgarian and English for data processing. Weighting variable is also included at both datasets.
