Sample questionnaire: Behavioural insights for COVID-19The situation evolves rapidly and unevenly across the world, and so tailoring of the questionnaire to specific contexts is critical. Each country can select which variables they wish to focus on and can adapt items to their specific needs. For the data analysis code provided in Annex 2, note that the variables need to be named as suggested in the second column, the variable labels need to be coded so that the values correspond to the values given in the second column.
