Three datasets associated with the PLOS Medicine publication, "Social contact patterns in the United Kingdom following the COVID-19 pandemic: The Reconnect cross-sectional survey". S1 Table covers the mean number of daily contacts between individuals of each age group, ethnicity, and NS-SEC class, stratified by setting (Total, Home, Work, School, and Other), as estimated by the weighted negative binomial regression model; S1 Table covers multi-variable proportions of daily contacts (by physicality, duration, frequency, setting, and adult/child); and S3 Table contains stratified analysis results showing projected infection share and risk ratios by demographic group.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides crucial data to inform post-pandemic mathematical models of infectious disease transmission, and allows ethnicity and SES to be incorporated in such models.
