Health eMoms COVID-19 Survey Data

Description of data

The Health eMoms COVID-19 Survey was distributed by email and text message between January 20 and February 3rd, 2021 to all birthing parents currently enrolled in Health eMoms. Eligible participants were randomly selected by Health eMoms to participate in the data collection program after births that occurred between January 2018 and September 2020.
