Public health measures require data on the spread of the disease, beliefs in the population, and capacity of the health system. Relief efforts depend on an understanding of hardships being faced by various segments of the population. Food policy requires measurement of agricultural production and hunger. In such a rapidly evolving pandemic, these data must be collected at a high frequency. Given the unexpected nature of the shock and urgency with which a response was required, Indian policymakers needed to formulate policies affecting India\u2019s 1.4 billion people, without the detailed evidence required to construct effective programs. To help overcome this evidence gap, the World Bank, IDinsight, and the Development Data Lab sought to produce rigorous and responsive data for policymakers across six states in India: Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2020\/05\/05","end":"2020\/05\/10","cycle":"1"},{"start":"2020\/07\/19","end":"2020\/07\/23","cycle":"2"},{"start":"2020\/09\/20","end":"2020\/09\/24","cycle":"3"}],"nation":[{"name":"India","abbreviation":"IND"}],"geog_coverage":"Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh","analysis_unit":"Household","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"These surveys cover the following subjects: \n1.

Due to the variation in sampling frames and sampling procedures across states and across rounds, the precise weight procedures tend to be idiosyncratic to a given state\/frame\/round combination. \n\nA detailed note on the weighting methodology adopted with a generalized set of steps and significant state\/frame deviations from the process is available for download.","method_notes":"The India COVID-19 surveys were conducted using Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) techniques. The household questionnaire was implemented using the CATI software, SurveyCTO. The software was deployed through surveyors\u2019 smartphones, who called respondents via mobile, and recorded their responses over the phone. If unreached, surveyors would attempt to call back respondents up to 7 times, often seeking explicit appointments for suitable times to avoid non-responses.\n\nValidation and consistency checks were incorporated into the SurveyCTO software to avoid human error. Extreme values and outliers were scrutinised through a real time dashboard set up by IDinsight. Surveys were also audio audited by monitors to check for consistency and accuracy of question phrasing and answer recording. Finally, supervisors also randomly back-checked a subset of interviews to further ensure data accuracy.\n\nIDinsight cleaned and labelled the data for further processing and analysis. The Development Data Lab examined the data for discrepancies and errors and merged the dataset with their proprietary spatial data.\n\nAll personally identifiable information has been removed from the datasets."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"Round 1: ~55%\nRound 2: ~46%\nRound 3: ~55%"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"","required":"yes","form_no":"","uri":""}],"contact":[{"name":"Microdata Library","affiliation":"World Bank","email":"","uri":"microdata.worldbank.org"}],"cit_req":"Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include:\n- the Identification of the Primary Investigator\n- the title of the survey (including country, acronym and year of implementation)\n- the survey reference number\n- the source and date of download\n\nExample:\n\nThe World Bank.
