COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring in Denmark (COSMO-Denmark)

The COSMO-Denmark project assessed Danish citizens’ knowledge, perceptions, emotions, and behaviours related to the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the associated coronavirus disease (COVID-19) over time. The data collection ran from March 2020 until September 2021.

COSMO-Denmark relied on a mixture of weekly, biweekly, and monthly repeated cross-sectional surveys and panel surveys.

COSMO-Denmark was part of the Behavioural Insights on COVID-19 survey network initiative coordinated by the World Health Organization/Regional Office for Europe.
