The Vanderbilt Child Health COVID-19 Poll was fielded from June 5 to June 10, 2020, using the Ipsos KnowledgePanel, a large online research panel created using probability-based address sampling of U.S. households. Households without internet at the time of recruitment were provided with an internet-enabled tablet. Participants in KnowledgePanel receive nominal periodic incentives to participate. For this survey, we included parents in KnowledgePanel with at least one child in the household younger than 18 years old. Eligible participants were randomly selected from the standing panel, sent an email notification, and sent a subsequent reminder three days later. This survey had a 50% completion rate, with a total of 1,011 responses. Survey weights were designed to provide national estimates of parents with children less than 18 years of age, accounting for differential nonresponse. Benchmarks for survey weighting were obtained from the 2019 March Supplement of the Current Population Survey for all variables, except for language proficiency, which was obtained from the 2018 American Community Survey. Questions Adapted From: Questions on food security (Q1, Q4), enrollment in food assistance programs (Q2, Q5), and health insurance (Q3, Q6) were adapted from the National Survey of Children's Health. Population: Adults Only Length: 14 questions Time to Complete: 10 minutes Mode of Administration: Online (e.g., computer-assisted interview) Administered by: Self Administered Special Considerations: Households without internet at the time of recruitment were provided with an internet-enabled tablet.
