During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the COVIDiSTRESS Consortium launched an open-access
global survey to understand and improve individuals’ experiences related to the crisis. a year later,
we extended this line of research by launching a new survey to address the dynamic landscape of the
pandemic. this survey was released with the goal of addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion by
working with over 150 researchers across the globe who collected data in 48 languages and dialects
across 137 countries. The resulting cleaned dataset described here includes 15,740 of over 20,000
responses. the dataset allows cross-cultural study of psychological wellbeing and behaviours a year
into the pandemic. It includes measures of stress, resilience, vaccine attitudes, trust in government and
scientists, compliance, and information acquisition and misperceptions regarding COVID-19. Open-
access raw and cleaned datasets with computed scores are available. Just as our initial COVIDiStRESS
dataset has facilitated government policy decisions regarding health crises, this dataset can be used by
researchers and policy makers to inform research, decisions, and policy.
