FReDA-W2a - Questions about infection with and vaccination against COVID-19 (English Version) - Cognitive Online Pretest
Abstract:
At the core of "FReDA - The German Family Demography Panel Study" are annual surveys of 18- to 49-year-old women and men and their partners. This will enable data users to answer various family-demographic, family-sociological and family-psychological questions.
The subject of this pretest are questions about infection with and vaccination against COVID-19 that were developed for wave 2a of FReDA.
The questions were tested in a cognitive online pretest via web probing.
*Note: The items were tested in German. The items documented here are English translations of the original German wordings.*

Project Description:
"FReDA - The German Family Demography Panel Study" is jointly established by the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB), GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences and the pairfam consortium. It is an infrastructure in Germany that combines the Gender & Generations Programme (GGP) and pairfam under one roof. At the core of FReDA are annual surveys of 18- to 49-year-old women and men and their partners. This will enable data users to answer various family-demographic, family-sociological and family-psychological questions.
