Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: Due to the onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) had to adapt its data collections to the new environment. Surveys that relied on face-to-face data collection either had to adjust data collection modes or suspend data collection completely. To provide the public with timely data on the health-related outcomes of the pandemic, NCHS expanded the mission of its Research and Development Survey (RANDS) program to not only act as the center’s methodological research survey, but also to provide experimental estimates of a limited number of health-related outcomes. NCHS’ Division of Research and Methodology (DRM) consulted with both internal and external stakeholders when developing the RANDS during COVID-19 questionnaire. Through this process, telemedicine availability and use emerged as key concepts about which RANDS during COVID-19 could provide timely information. Specifically, NCHS wanted to collect and disseminate information about the prevalence of telemedicine availability prior to and before the pandemic, as well as use of telemedicine during the pandemic.
