SoDa Blog: UMD Survey Offers Real-Time Data-Driven Glimpse into Ukrainian Well-being

A new blog post from the Social Data Science Center (SoDa) outlines how the Global Covid-19 Trends and Impact Survey (CTIS), in partnership with Meta, which has been collecting data from around the world since April 2020 to inform stakeholders and public health officials of the pandemic’s spread, is now shedding new light on how Ukrainians’ health and well-being has been impacted by Russia’s attack. 

The CTIS’ measures of physical and mental distress, developed jointly with researchers from the Joint Program in Survey Methodology at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, provide  a data-driven impression of the worries and struggles of the Ukrainian people and those in surrounding countries. The CTIS is one of the few worldwide surveys that allows near real-time assessment of physical and mental health, worries about finances and food supply, and other factors. CTIS is one of the few surveys to continue to be operating and conducting surveys in Ukraine.
