Data Collection and Reporting

This study aimed to apply rapid online surveying to determine knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19 among the general public in the United States and the United Kingdom. The findings from this online survey could guide information campaigns by public health authorities, clinicians, and the media. More broadly, rapid online surveys could be an important tool in tracking the public’s knowledge and misperceptions during rapidly moving infectious disease outbreaks.
