SAPRIN COVID-19 surveillance intensive cohort April-December 2020: sub-dataset for Protective Behaviours and Secondary Harms paper

This study aimed to conduct active COVID-19 surveillance and estimate the health and non-health impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic in rural South Africa. In particular, the study focused on how households responded to the Covid-19 epidemic in terms of COVID-19-related knowledge and protective behaviours, health and economic impacts of NPIs, and mental health. To this end, data was collected during 2020 as part of SAPRIN's wider work to monitor and help respond to the COVID-19 epidemic. Each SAPRIN node sampled a small proportion of households in their surveillance areas (between 750 and 2250) and invited them to participate in intensive study, answering questionnaires every 2-3 weeks between April and December 2020. At each interview, a household representative responded to questions for themselves, for the household as a whole and for each household member. The data was then linked to key sociodemographic features of the responding households. This dataset contains only those variables relevant to the first academic paper published on this cohort (<https>).

Scope
The questionnaire included both household-level and individual-specific questions, the latter of which could be directly addressed by other household members if they were present. The primary respondent acted as a proxy in all other cases. COVID-19 symptom screening was included in the questionnaire, and those who satisfied the Department of Health's COVID-19 symptom criteria were referred for additional investigation, testing, and management.

Coverage
The data are collected in three SAPRIN nodal surveillance areas in South Africa. The Agincourt site covers approximately 420 km2 in Bushbuckridge district, Mpumalanga province, close to the Mozambique border. The DIMAMO site covers approximately 200 km2 in Capricorn district, Limpopo Province, approximately 40 km from urban Polokwane. The AHRI site covers approximately 438 km2 in the southeast of Umkhanyakude district, KwaZulu-Natal province, close to Mtubatuba town. The dataset contains within-node units separating each area into 20-40 sub-units.
Eligibility covered all the adult (over age 18) resident population within each of the three SAPRIN nodal sites. Residence was defined as intention to sleep the majority of time at the dwelling in these areas over a four-month period
