Project Description

Summary: The COVID-19 and information flows (CIF) constitutes a household level census of three contiguous villages- Bankina, Roail, and Shatihati, in the Tangail district of Dhaka, Bangladesh. In addition to standard socioeconomic and demographic information (e.g. marital status, employment, age, gender, living conditions, migrants, etc.), the CIF gathers information on respondents' COVID knowledge, attitudes, and practice; traces the social network of information flow between villagers; and elicits information on perceptions of respondent's economic position relative to different reference groups (e.g. neighbors, colleagues, siblings, etc.), subjective well-being, sources of help during Covid related adversities, and household GPS location coordinates. Data on 1,624 households were collected in a single wave during 09/2022 and 10/2022.
