AIILSG conducted “COVID-19 Appropriate Behavioural Surveillance, Knowledge & Attitude Survey of COVID-19 Disease and Vaccines among General Population of India: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study”. It was awarded by the NIUA in collaboration with UNICEF. Approximately, 15,000 surveys have been completed across 22 cities (rural and urban) in 2 Months through KOBOCOLLECT AAP. This study focuses on three tools to assess the knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 outbreak as well as practice of COVID appropriate behavior.

The first tool is COVID-19 Appropriate Behaviour Survey (CABS- Observation Survey and Social Experiment) based on two tools, that is, observation and conducting social experiment in a sub-set of observed samples (individuals) who are not following CAB. This Survey figures out how general population practices social distancing and personal hygiene in common public places. We have to conduct 350 to 400 surveys in 10 locations of cities and towns. The social experiment includes canvassing of a few questions to a sub-set of the sample population, that is, those who’re not following COVID19 appropriate behaviour (CAB) in public places, to understand the reasons for their complacency. Knowledge and Attitude Survey (KAS-Household Survey) is a structured questionnaire which was distributed among households. KAS tries to assess the knowledge and attitude of a household towards COVID-19 and its response measures including treatment-seeking behaviour, maintenance of personal hygiene and attitude towards vaccination. The survey also analyses the reasons for not following CAB, like differential access to basic amenities such as availability of rooms, hand-washing facilities, drinking water connections etc. 100 to 120 surveys have been conducted in three locations of cities (i.e. Slum Area Location, MIG HHs Location & HIG HHs Location) and rural areas (25 to 30 Household of villages in rural areas).
