COVID-19 UK Public Experiences Study (COPE)
The UK COPE study is one of the largest and most in-depth social science studies of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, capturing the experiences of over 11,000 participants. The study started in March 2020, 10 days before the introduction of the first national COVID-19 lockdown, and subsequently followed participants via follow-up surveys and in-depth interviews.
