Questionnaire modules in baseline and follow up questionnaires, Corona Behavioral Unit cohort study, April 2020 –September 2022.
In follow-up questionnaires, all participants filled out a short version of the sociodemographic module with items that could potentially have changed over time (eg, medical health condition), that were needed for linkage purposes (i.e., age and sex–see more details below), were included for routing purposes (eg, having kids for questions related to kids), or were related to COVID-19 vaccination, testing and infection. Also, all participants filled out questions from the behavior module, and, based on the baseline module and random allocation during follow-up, was complemented with questions from a module on either (d) psychosocial determinants of adherence, (e) policy support, use of media and trust in the COVID-19 approach of the Dutch government, or (f) well-being, use of media and trust in the COVID-19 approach of the Dutch government (Fig 1).

1 Other reasons for uncompleted questionnaires are: open link had been used more than once, email address was not correct, survey was closed because participant’s age was below the minimum, participant did not give permission to use their data. 2 Participant id number, age and sex from the baseline questionnaires were used to match participants on their follow-up questionnaires.
