Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary About The Study
The How Right Now campaign (HRN), which is made possible with support from the CDC Foundation and conducted in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), aims to help people cope, adapt, and be resilient throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. HRN prioritizes communities that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. To inform the development of this campaign and respond to the evolving needs of its audiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, HRN explored Americans’ mental health, emotional well-being and coping needs using an interrupted time series design. As part of the HRN campaign evaluation, survey data were collected in English and Spanish at three time points—May 2020, May 2021, and May 2022. Data is available for the last two waves of this survey here and at https://www.norc.org/Research/Projects/Pages/how-right-now-campaign.aspx.

About the Survey
These public use files contain data from two of the national probability panel surveys – May 2021 (fielded from May 26-June 1, 2021) and May 2022 (fielded from May 20-May 31, 2022). Both surveys used NORC’s AmeriSpeak® panel (https://amerispeak.norc.org/), a nationally representative probability panel of over 30,000 U.S. households.1 The total sample size for the May 2021 survey was 1,022 and the total sample size for May 2022 was 1,120. Data collection procedures and protocols were reviewed and approved by NORC's Institutional Review Board and were determined exempt under 45 CFR 46 102(1) by CDC.
