Data description

Data collected as part of an online cross-sectional survey to investigate COVID-19 vaccination beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours amongst health and social care workers (H&SCWs) in the UK by socio-demographic and employment variables. The survey included four main sections, comprised of questions relating to: (1) Demographics; (2) Employment; (3) COVID-19 vaccination beliefs and COVID-19 risk perceptions; and (4) Sources of COVID-19 vaccination information. In total, 1919 people were surveyed – 1658 healthcare workers (HCWs) and 261 social care workers (SCWs).

Data access conditions

The data codebook lists variables that were collected by the research study.

Anonymised data may be requested for the purpose of academic research and healthcare improvement, subject to evidence of ethics approval being provided. Processing has been performed to de-identify the dataset while maintaining the research context.

To manage the risk of indirect identification through analysis of several variables (due to the low number of responses received for some questions) and use of other data sources, further processing may be necessary when preparing data to fulfil the access request. In circumstances where full de-identification is not feasible without context loss, applicants will be asked to sign a Data Transfer Agreement as a condition of data access.
