A Population Health Assessment of BC's COVID-19 Experience: Two large cross-sectional web surveys.

This population health survey consisted of two cross-sectional samples, providing insight into the experiences and unintended consequences of the COVID-19 response early in the pandemic and one year on in British Columbia. The surveys captured the effect on mental and physical wellbeing, social connectedness, economic stability, and resilience. The findings showed that the impacts were extensive and widespread, inequitably distributed, and significantly affecting vulnerable populations. The methodology is grounded within the social determinants of health providing a framework for developing population health surveys to help prioritize public health initiatives and policies.
