Study title

The data set "SDCCP 2 - Survey Design Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic" was generated by the project entitled "Survey Data Collection and the Covid-19 Pandemic" (SDCCP). The aim of the project was to describe the survey design and data quality of surveys conducted in Germany in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The SDCCP 2 data set contains rich metadata and information about survey design for social and behavioral science longitudinal surveys in Germany which conducted data collection both before and during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic (March 2020 to December 2021). Through the time comparison of two time periods, the data set "SDCCP 2 - Survey Design Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic" complements the data set “SDCCP 1 – Survey Design and Quality During the Covid-19 Pandemic“ ( https://doi.org/10.7802/2652 ).
