Abstract: RANDS during COVID-19 will allow NCHS to quickly obtain and disseminate information about the access to health care during the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, data will be collected that allows understanding the quality of other pandemic-related surveys. This work includes a component of already planned research regarding the ways NCHS might leverage commercially-created and maintained survey panels to supplement and expand NCHS' methodological research.

Emergency Justfication: The quickly evolving situation surrounding the outbreak, and the fact that CDC requires timely surveillance information for policy and communication decisions, requires emergency review and clearance to allow for immediate information collection. CDC cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance given the urgent necessity to protect the American public from the continued spread of this health threat. Therefore, CDC requests a 180-day emergency clearance to launch this pair of general population surveys to obtain data about the outbreak and the public’s response to it.
