Telling Our Stories in the Age of COVID-19

This study is intended to better understand the day-to-day impact of the novel coronavirus on the lives of the global public. Using regular journal entries along with several open- and close-ended questions specific to the impact of COVID-19, we aim to understand personal experiences of the global pandemic as it occurs in real time. We are specifically interested in situational changes, COVID-19 exposure and experience, COVID-19-related concerns, daily mood changes, and perceived impact, mental health impact, and use of social media. Study Population: As of May 6, 2020, participants represent 29 countries and 35 states within the United States. At the current time, respondent age range is 18-82 (mean = 44.8) and largely female (89.29%; 9.2% male). There is considerable variation in where people are living (this was check all that apply): 38% are with a spouse/partner, 18% with children
