The COVID-19 Psychological Wellbeing Study was designed and implemented as a rapid survey of the psychosocial impacts of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), known as COVID-19 in residents across the United Kingdom. This study utilised a longitudinal design to collect online survey based data. The aim of this paper was to describe (1) the rationale behind the study and the corresponding selection of constructs to be assessed; (2) the study design and methodology; (3) the resultant sociodemographic characteristics of the full sample; (4) how the baseline survey data compares to the UK adult population (using data from the Census) on a variety of sociodemographic variables; (5) the ongoing efforts for weekly and monthly longitudinal assessments of the baseline cohort; and (6) outline future research directions. We believe the study is in a unique position to make a significant contribution to the growing body of literature to help understand the psychological impact of this pandemic and inform future clinical and research directions that the UK will implement in response to COVID-19.

COVID-19 心理健康研究旨在快速调查新型严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2)（即 COVID-19）对英国居民的社会心理影响。本研究采用纵向设计来收集基于在线调查的数据。本文的目的是描述（1）研究背后的基本原理以及相应的待评估构建的选择； (2) 研究设计和方法； (3) 整个样本的最终社会人口特征； (4) 基线调查数据与英国成年人口（使用人口普查数据）在各种社会人口统计变量上的比较情况如何； (5) 每周和每月对基线队列进行纵向评估的持续努力； (6)概述未来的研究方向。我们相信，这项研究处于独特的地位，可以为不断增长的文献做出重大贡献，帮助了解这一流行病的心理影响，并为英国针对 COVID-19 实施的未来临床和研究方向提供信息。
