The LockedDown

The LockedDown was a global survey of university staff and students to assess how the measures taken to fight the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the educational process, professional opportunities, and wellbeing. The survey was also open to the general public and collected data between May 2020 and November 2020.

This action is led by the LSE Health Policy, Healthbit and Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, University of Toronto in collaboration with national universities from across the world. We are supported by a group of volunteers to put together the most comprehensive data set of the global pandemic experience. The survey was available in 17 languages.
