Description: All COVID-Dynamic data that is openly available through OSF is de-identified to protect participants’ privacy. Sensitive geographic information – i.e., data with higher geographic resolution than participant state of residence, such as zip-code and nearest town of residence – bears the risk of identifying individual participants, as does data derived from sensitive location data – i.e., county of residence and county-based external measures – and therefore is excluded from the public data. To access sensitive geographic information researchers must establish a formal relationship with the COVID-Dynamic Team by taking the steps outlined in the Wiki.
