项目摘要

The COVID-19 crisis is having an unprecedented impact on people's lives from the perspectives of their health, psychological wellbeing, social activity, employment and financial circumstances. Older people are at high risk because of the presence of long-term health conditions, problems with mobility, as well as social isolation due to lower levels of internet use compared with the rest of the population. The repercussions of this crisis will be considerable and long-lasting. Research for years to come will need to understand who has been most affected economically and socially, and how policymakers can best help them in the long run. Additionally, researchers need to study the crisis now, and policymakers' responses to it, in order to make future health and social systems more resilient to such events in the future. There is a strong scientific case for collecting data in the time of the crisis within the framework of existing longitudinal data and infrastructure investments that already form a large part of the evidence base when it comes to understanding the links between health, economic welfare, family and social structures. There is an urgent need to monitor these processes in order to identify the extent of adverse experience, to learn how to promote resilience, and to inform policy. ELSA is uniquely positioned to do this for older people.Our aim is to carry out assessments of a large well characterized sample of men and women aged over 50 who are participants in the long running English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). We will implement an internet assessment of the complete sample (more than 9,000 people), with telephone interviews to ensure people who are not able to use the internet can participate. We will measure experiences of COVID-19, changes in financial circumstances, work and caregiving, mental and physical health, social contact and loneliness, health and social care, stress and worries. The survey will be carried out in June 2020, with a second assessment in September/October. The study will inform policy makers and researchers about the diverse impacts of COVID-19.

COVID-19危机对人们的健康、心理健康、社交活动、就业和财务状况产生了前所未有的影响。老年人面临的风险很高，因为他们存在长期健康状况，行动不便，以及与其他人口相比互联网使用水平较低而导致的社会孤立。这场危机的影响将是巨大和持久的。未来几年的研究需要了解谁在经济和社会方面受到的影响最大，以及政策制定者如何从长远来看最好地帮助他们。此外，研究人员需要研究现在的危机，以及决策者对危机的反应，以便使未来的卫生和社会系统对未来的此类事件更具弹性。在危机发生时，在现有纵向数据和基础设施投资的框架内收集数据是一个强有力的科学理由，在了解健康、经济福利、家庭和社会结构之间的联系方面，这些数据和投资已经构成证据基础的很大一部分。迫切需要监测这些进程，以确定不利经验的程度，了解如何促进复原力，并为政策提供信息。艾尔莎是唯一的定位，这样做的老年人。我们的目标是进行评估的一个大型的良好的表征样本的男性和女性年龄超过50谁是参与者长期运行的英国老龄化纵向研究（艾尔莎）。我们将对整个样本（超过9，000人）进行互联网评估，并通过电话访谈确保无法使用互联网的人能够参与。我们将衡量COVID-19的经历、财务状况的变化、工作和生活、心理和身体健康、社会接触和孤独、健康和社会关怀、压力和担忧。调查将于2020年6月进行，第二次评估将于9月/10月进行。该研究将向政策制定者和研究人员通报COVID-19的各种影响。
