Welke maatregelen tegen het corona virus zijn effectief en zijn er groepen die zich beter aan de maatregelen houden dan anderen?

From the start of the corona pandemic, LL sent out questionnaires to all Lifelines participants. We start with a weekly questionnaire but changed the frequently in bi-weekly and monthly overtime resulted in a total number of 18 questionnaires until now. At the begin we have a response of more than 50.000 participants but is it decreased to a stable number around the 30.000 participants for the last questionnaires. The questionnaire contains questions of various topics, such as, if they get a corona infection, symptoms, daily life, mental health, chronic diseases, vaccinations, use of medication, Corona related well-being, social life, lifestyle, work situation, measures and how they think about that.
We believe that this huge amount of questionnaire data can help us to get insight in the effeteness of measures during a pandemic. We can do research how people feel and think about these measures over time and we can combine this with governmental information of the active measures. We think we can modulate this data and extract interesting insights in the pandemic which can be used in (hopefully none) future pandemics.
