The Tasmania Project was established by the Institute for Social Change at the University of Tasmania to understand how Tasmanians are experiencing and adjusting to the social, political and economic responses to COVID-19. The project aims to support immediate and longer term social and economic decisions by providing useful, evidence-based and timely information, and share Tasmanian residents' experiences and ideas through this critical period and beyond. This dataset is for General Survey #5 (TTP5), which was open from 24 September - 3 October 2021 and had a final sample size of 1200 respondents. The survey consisted of five sections: 1. Restrictions and safety, 2. Life in the second year of COVID, 3. Work and employment, 4. Volunteering, 5. Demographic information.
The survey is based on a non-random sample of Tasmanians (currently residing in Tasmania) over the age of 18, recruited through a combination of convenience and snowballing sampling methods. All participants were required to provide informed consent to participate in the study as per The Tasmania Project’s approved ethics protocol (HREC Project ID 20587). The survey was conducted online (Survey Monkey) and self-administered, with the option for those without internet access or digital devices / skills to contact the research team by phone for help to complete the survey.
