COVID-19 Snapshot MOnitoring in Denmark (COSMO Denmark)
This project investigated Danish citizens’ knowledge, perceptions and behaviours related to the outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19). The results helped to understand how people respond to the coronavirus outbreak and what was the effect of different behavioral measures and regulations.
THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED
To curb the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), people were required to follow certain behavioural guidelines. To learn how Danes perceived and adhered to these regulations, every week a random sample of 5,000 Danish citizens was invited via e-Boks to participate in the COSMO online survey.
