Quick COVID-19 Survey
With great appreciation to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Morris-Singer Foundation, and the Samueli Foundation for their support.

About
Background
Primary care is responsible for 50% of all medical visits each year, receives less than 7% of national health expenditures, and only 0.2% of NIH funding. System US neglect has left this critical national resource unstable.
Purpose
On March 13, 2020, the Larry A. Green Center, in partnership with the Primary Care Collaborative, launched a national survey to better understand the response and capacity of US primary care practices to COVID-19, as well as the potential impact of the pandemic on primary care.
Methods
The “Quick COVID-19 Primary Care Survey” occurs regularly. Each survey takes less than 3 minutes to complete and includes core questions and at least one “flash” question. Suggestions for flash questions are always accepted – they are designed to respond to the most pressing information needs. A new survey and link are generated monthly, starting on a Friday at 9am EST and closing the following Tuesday at 11:59pm PST. Survey invitations are distributed with the help of professional societies and organizations, listservs, and practice-based research networks. Invitations include links to the most recent survey findings. Each survey offers participants the option to sign up for an automated mailing to receive the new link each week directly, thanks to the assistance of our partner TechNeed. This study was reviewed by the Virginia Commonwealth University Institutional Review Board.
Patient
About
Purpose
On May 4, 2020, the Larry A Green Center, in partnership with the Primary Care Collaborative and 3rd Conversation, launched a companion survey to the “Quick COVID-19 Primary Care Survey”, with patients as the focus. Primary Care is a relationship between patient and clinician requiring an understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on both halves of that relationship.
Methods
The “Quick COVID-19 Primary Care Patient Survey” occurs a few times per year. The survey is offered through public posting on a survey website and open to people 18 or older until a minimum threshold of 1100 responses is reached. This is a convenience sample, voluntary and anonymous, with enrollment becoming limited as it fills to ensure diversity in respondent demographics.
Telehealth/Health Equity
About
Purpose
To enable a deeper assessment of the impact of the rapid adoption of digital health on practices, with particular attention to “at risk” populations during the pandemic, the Green Center launched a rapid cycle “Telehealth/Health Equity” survey.
Methods
This survey is distributed to a limited longitudinal cohort of clinicians from a variety of states, settings, and primary care disciplines. The “Telehealth/Health Equity” survey occurs in four cycles, March 2021-September 2022. Each cycle includes 8 surveys, each 60-90 seconds in length, administered weekly for eight weeks. Results are then analyzed and adjustments made to questions administered in the following cycle.

Cycle 1: March 31 - May 20, 2021

Resources
Congressional Packages
The 9th survey in the series, fielded May 8-11, offered clinicians a chance to write to Congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Chuck Schumer a personal message. Clinicians were offered the opportunity to share another personal message with Congress, as well as the Biden COVID-19 Task Force, in the 24th survey in the series, fielded December 11-15. The full list of responses can be downloaded as PDFs below.
