This file contains the results of the trend study dealing with rules of conduct. A representative group of people is regularly asked whether they comply with the rules of conduct that have been set in response to the Corona pandemic and what they think of the rules of conduct. Up to and including round 27 this was every three weeks, then every four weeks, and from round 33 every six weeks. There is an interval of almost four months between rounds 30 and 31. For more information about the research design: https://www.rivm.nl/gedragsonderzoek/trendonderzoek/backgroundinformation From round 36, corona-specific behavioral advice will no longer apply. There are still general behavioral recommendations to prevent respiratory infections. The file contains national (all rounds) and per Security Region (up to and including round 30) data on: - Compliance with the code of conduct - Support for the code of conduct - Self-efficacy (how difficult or easy do you find it to follow the code of conduct?) - Response effectiveness (does it help if everyone follows the rules of conduct?) - Social norm (do you see most people in your immediate environment follow the rules of conduct?) - Affective response (are you worried about the coronavirus?) - Willingness to vaccinate - Corona-related complaints - Psychological health (from round 31) - Loneliness (from round 31) Rules of conduct Compliance, support, self-efficacy, response effectiveness and social norm are queried for the following rules of conduct: - Curfew: stay at home after 9 p.m. have corona-related complaints (up to and including round 11) - Bij_klachten_blijf_terecht_thuis: stay at home if you have corona-related complaints, unless you have taken a negative test (from round 11) - Bij_klachten_laat_testen: do a corona test if you have complaints (at the GGD or a self-test ) - In case of_complaints_posttest_isolation: stay at home if you have a positive test result - Wear_facemask_in_public transport: wear a facemask in public transport - Wear_facemask_in_public_indoor spaces: wear a facemask in public indoor spaces - Wear_facemask_in_busy_places: wear a facemask in busy places outside - Cough_sneeze_in_elbow: if you have to cough or sneeze , then do this in the elbow - Keep_1_5m_distance: keep 1.5 meters away from others (compliance measured in different situations) - Receive_max_visitors_home: receive a maximum number of visitors at home (the recommended maximum varied over time, measured at the current time) advice) - Ventilate_house: provide sufficient fresh air in your home (usually or always ventilate and ventilate the room where you wash the most for 15 minutes or more twice or more per day) - Avoid_busy_places: avoid busy places or turn around if you do come to a busy place - Wash_your_hands_often: wash your hands regularly (more than 10 times a day) - Work_home: work (partly) at home if possible (advice varied over time) - Self-test_visit: do a self-test before visiting someone Data The file contains the following data: - Percentage or average - 95% confidence interval lower limit - 95% confidence interval upper limit - Change with respect to the previous measurement - Number of respondents in the sample By Security Region, per measurement period per indicator category per indicator Records The file contains the following set of records per questionnaire round: - A record for each Security Region in the Netherlands per indicator category per indicator (up to and including round 30, from round 31 only the Netherlands) - A record for total percentages in the Netherlands per indicator category per indicator per age category, by level of education and by gender indication (from round 32, participants whose gender is different from male or female participate. Because this is a small group of participants, this group is not shown in its own record, but they do count in the total) Indicator categories Compliance: Are the requested rules of conduct being observed (current behaviour)? Support base: To what extent do you support the code of conduct? Help_rules: Suppose everyone followed the government's rules of conduct, how well would that help to prevent the spread of the corona virus? Difficulty: How difficult or easy do you find it to comply with the rule of conduct? Close_environment: Do most of the people in the immediate environment of the surveyed follow the rules of conduct? Concerns: Are you concerned about the coronavirus? Vaccination readiness: Do you want to be vaccinated against covid? Complaints: Percentage of people with corona-related complaints Mental: Mental health in four categories based on the MHI-5. Loneliness: Loneliness in three categories based on De Jong Gierveld's abbreviated Loneliness Scale. Variables Description of the variables: Date_of_report: Date and time on which the data file was created by RIVM. Date_of_measurement: Date of the measurement started. The measurement duration is one week. The measurement therefore took place on the said date and six days afterwards. Wave Sequence number of the measurement Region_code: Netherlands and Security region code. The Netherlands has code NL00. See also: https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/figures/detail/84721ENG?q=Safety Region_name: The Netherlands and name of the Security Region. This is the name of the Security Regions as used so far in various reports and reports by the RIVM, and may differ slightly from the naming as indicated in the CBS code list (see link above under variable Security_region_code).
