Methodology
See all evidence submissionsThis report is based on a rapid review of the available academic and grey literature in November 2020. The timeframe for the review meant that it was not possible to take a truly systematic approach but the team endeavoured to identify published and unpublished literature relating to the impact of COVID-19 on communities drawing on:
- Academic journal publications, including pre-prints
- Interim, public facing, and snapshot publications produced by many of the major studies on related topics
- National statistics produced by ONS and analysis of national surveys
- Reports articles and blogs published by think tanks, charities, public sector organisations and philanthropic funders
- Informal/ unpublished sources such as conversations with stakeholders in a variety of roles around the UK
We covered all forms of research: primary quantitative and qualitative studies (including those adopting innovative digital, creative and participatory methodologies), as well as analysis of secondary data and some economic analysis.
