Here is a link to a Lancaster University Survey that needs more respondents. It is to gather information about social interactions to try and better predict outbreaks. Respondents complete the questionnaire anonymously:

A straightforward survey to do. Questions well formed with no ambiguity making it very easy to answer.
Hope it helps to form a picture of people's behaviour.

Not sure how helpful it will really be comparing it to another weekly Covid-19 survey. Last, or one of last, questions asked how many times left home in past week which is a really simple question to answer. I was out 4 times- twice to get medicine/doctor's appointment & twice to get food for us & another household. This was NOT a typical week (normally go out only once) but will survey conclude that I and people in my postal area (only identifying geographical location) are leaving home more often than they normally have been doing? Also didn't ask reason for leaving home, etc.
-
Yes, my week was very out of what we've been doing which has been staying close to home!
As it was our anniversary we decided to take a chance get away for the day so hence drive +50 miles....
It would have been a good question we're any of the journeys unusually taken from what you do normally in these times...
Otherwise I thought they were ok.

Quickly done, but like all multiple choice Q & A s it left me wanting to add clarifying information, for example explaining that I go out of the house every day for my daily walk/exercise. I'm not sure how useful this survey will be, except to the person/s submitting it as part of their Ph. D thesis, of course.
-
But no questions about banana bread, nor weight gain.

The more detailed survey I've been doing weekly covers things like leaving the house (various reasons to select), eating habits and many other things but doesn't take too long to fill out. Some questions have remained constant but each week there are then a few new ones (for example, 1 week about online gambling).
-
As I've seen a lot of student etc surveys in my time, it still amuses me that they are often so poorly designed to elicit any really useful information, and usually planned to get the response that they want / intend.
-Mind you, most government ones are as bad!
