COVID-19 High Frequency Phone Surveys 2021 - LAC HFPS Harmonized Dataset (Brazil)

Abstract

To facilitate comparisons with the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) High-Frequency Surveys collected in 2021, harmonized versions of the COVID-19 High Frequency Phone Surveys 2022 Brazil databases have been produced. The databases follow the same structure as those for the countries in the region (for example, see: COVID-19 LAC High Frequency Phone Surveys 2021 (Wave 1)).

The Brazil 2021 COVID-19 Phone Survey was conducted to provide information on how the pandemic had been affecting Brazilian households in 2021, collecting information along multiple dimensions relevant to the welfare of the population (e.g. changes in employment and income, coping mechanisms, access to health and education services, gender inequalities, and food insecurity). A total of 2,166 phone interviews were conducted across all Brazilian states between July 26 and October 1, 2021. The survey followed an Random Digit Dialing (RDD) sampling methodology using a dual sampling frame of cellphone and landline numbers. The sampling frame was stratified by type of phone and state. Results are nationally representative for households with a landline or at least one cell phone and of individuals of ages 18 years and above who have an active cell phone number or a landline at home.
