Abstract

The Philippines COVID-19 Households Survey represents an important part of the World Bank’s real time monitoring of COVID-19 impacts along with firm and community surveys. It aims to assess the impact of the pandemic on households’ food security and welfare, their coping strategies, education, socio-emotional state, and public policy responses. A survey firm carried out phone surveys (based on a sample frame that the firm has maintained) and self-administered web surveys facilitated by Telecommunication Firms’ (Telcos) text blasts and social media advertisement campaigns distributing the web link to the survey questions. The survey instrument and procedures have been designed in accordance with the best practices laid out by the World Bank’s COVID-19 methodology and measurement task force. The average length of the survey was 30-40 minutes and were rolled out during key periods at the course of the pandemic.

Sampling procedure

The mixed method combining both phone and web-based surveys was employed to ensure coverage of individuals from different socio-economic backgrounds. In the self-administered online survey (CAWI), respondents received notifications through text blast and social media ads. The text blast was coordinated by the National Economic Development Authority through the National Telecommunications Commission. In the other hand, the phone survey (CATI) specifically targeted to lower income households from an existing list of the partner survey firm with a target sample of 3,000 respondents.

Sampling deviation

In rounds 2 and 3, the survey was limited to phone interviews (CATI) from the panel of 5,049 respondents in round 1. Target number of respondents was 3,000.

The team decided to simplify the methodology in the succeeding rounds due to resource constraints.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]

Research instrument

The questionnaire had core modules that were collected in each round and additional modules on focus topics. Following are the topics covered: 1) Demographics and housing characteristics (round 1) 2) Knowledge of COVID-19: awareness and behavior (round 1) 3) Government action (rounds 1, 2) 4) Access to transportation (rounds 1, 2) 5) Access to food (rounds 1, 2) 6) Access to health services (rounds 1, 2) 7) Access to education (rounds 1) 8) Access to finances (rounds 1) 9) Employment and income sources (rounds 1) 10) Coping mechanisms and safety nets (rounds 1)

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

In addition, the Philippine government will also start encouraging its population to take the booster shot, in efforts to control the spread of the Omicron subvariant. As of July 2022, the National Capital Region accounted for the highest share of the population with booster shots.
