Abstract
The Coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) high-frequency phone survey (HFPS) 2020 was
conducted in 13 Latin American countries: Argentina,
Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay,
and Peru. It followed a panel sample over three waves of
data collection in 12 countries and over four waves in
Ecuador. All waves spanned from May to August 2020 and each
wave’s collection period lasted about ten days on average.
The survey was administered to one adult per household. Each
respondent was presented with both individual and
household-level questions. All national samples were based
on a dual frame of cell and landline phones, and selected as
a one-stage probability sample, with geographic
stratification of landline numbers. The samples were
generated through a random digit dialing (RDD) process
covering all cell and landline telephone numbers active at
the time of the sample selection. Survey estimates represent
households with a landline or at least one cell phone and
individuals of 18 years of age or above who have an active
cell phone number or a landline at home.
