# End of CTIS Data Collection
8+
{: .no_toc}
9+
10+
The US COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey will stop inviting new respondents to
11+
complete the survey on June 25, 2022. All aggregate data will remain publicly
12+
available, and microdata will continue to be available to academic and nonprofit
13+
researchers. We provide details below on this decision and how it will affect
14+
users of the data.
15+
16+
17+
## Why CTIS Data Collection is Concluding
18+
19+
CTIS was launched at the height of the global COVID-19 emergency, on April 6,
20+
2020, to enable daily syndromic surveillance at a time when testing and data on
21+
the emerging pandemic were limited. Since CTIS launched, pandemic response
22+
decision-makers from around the world have utilized CTIS’ daily data on symptoms
23+
associated with COVID-19, such as fevers, coughing or shortness of breath – as
24+
well as other topics covered in the survey from mask wearing to COVID-related
25+
job loss. See [below](#ctis-impact) to learn more about how CTIS has supported
26+
the COVID-19 response.
27+
28+
At this point in the pandemic, reliable data to track similar topics as CTIS
29+
have become more widely available. Additionally, CTIS response rates have
30+
declined over time, and as COVID-19 has evolved, there is less need for large,
31+
daily data collection and greater need for measurement of topics that do not
32+
change significantly on a daily basis. Since CTIS is designed specifically for
33+
large-scale, daily data collection, the Delphi Group at Carnegie Mellon
34+
University (CMU), the University of Maryland Social Data Science Center (UMD)
35+
and Meta have made the decision to stop collecting new survey responses. We are
36+
working to curate and archive the tens of millions of privacy-protected survey
37+
responses received since 2020 and the aggregate estimates derived from them to
38+
ensure the data remain available to academic and nonprofit researchers.
39+
40+
Sampling will be suspended in the United States on June 25, 2022. For details on
41+
the schedule of the international version administered by the University of
42+
Maryland, see [their end-of-survey
43+
announcement](https://gisumd.github.io/COVID-19-API-Documentation/docs/notice/end_of_survey.html).
44+
45+
46+
## Availability of Data After the Conclusion of CTIS
47+
48+
We are working to archive the data that has been collected so it can continue to
49+
inform public health decisions for years to come. In line with CTIS policies and
50+
standards during the sampling period, all data will be maintained in a way that
51+
continues to preserve user privacy.
52+
53+
All CTIS aggregate data will continue to be available after data collection
54+
stops on June 25, 2022 on [UMD‘s Global CTIS](https://covidmap.umd.edu/) and the
55+
Delphi Group at CMU’s US CTIS websites. Academic and nonprofit researchers may
56+
continue to [request access](./data-access.md) to non-public, non-aggregated
57+
survey data for their research, and current approved data users will be able to
58+
continue accessing the non-aggregated data until their current data use
59+
agreements (DUA) expire. Researchers currently holding a fully executed DUA will
60+
have the option to extend their DUA after it expires. Though no new data will be
61+
collected after June 25, 2022, [Meta’s CTIS
62+
visualizations](https://dataforgood.facebook.com/covid-survey/) will continue to
63+
be available, and until the end of 2022, [JH CCP’s COVID Behaviors
64+
dashboard](https://covidbehaviors.org/) will as well.
65+
66+
67+
## CTIS Impact
68+
69+
CTIS is the largest public health survey ever conducted and has been used to
70+
inform the decisions of governments, health organizations, nonprofits, research
71+
institutions and academics around the world as they implemented their COVID-19
72+
response efforts. The survey data has been used by over 100 stakeholders across
73+
over 60 countries. CTIS has demonstrated the positive impact that surveys of
74+
health behaviors and needs can have on improving access to health information,
75+
support, and care.
76+
77+
For example, the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) uses CTIS
78+
data to inform its COVID-19 prediction models. Via these models, CTIS mask
79+
wearing data [informed a mask mandate in
80+
Poland](https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.8562-6/239409865_949264702522493_1292335916807550455_n.pdf?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=ae5e01&_nc_ohc=-e4DmQpaV94AX-57y2C&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=00_AT8LeGMwJErh4Yfglm0ldVtg5tdVfFvGQFHbSFxfJ2HOFw&oe=6251EB4B),
81+
which contributed to a significant drop in COVID-19 cases. In the US, a Johns
82+
Hopkins University study using CTIS data [published in
83+
Science](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abh2939) on household
84+
COVID-19 risk and in-person schooling contributed to the US CDC’s Independent
85+
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ recommendation to allow
86+
vaccinations in younger children. Several research groups used CTIS data to
87+
produce forecasts for the [COVID-19 Forecast
88+
Hub](https://covid19forecasthub.org/), used by the Centers for Disease Control
89+
and Prevention to inform COVID-19 response. Overall, there have been [roughly 20
90+
peer-reviewed research articles using the US survey
91+
data](https://delphi.cmu.edu/covid19/ctis/#publications) as of April 2022, with
92+
more currently in progress.
93+
94+
We are grateful to the millions of Facebook users that took the survey, many of
95+
them taking it multiple times over the course of two years. Thank you as well to
96+
the many researchers, nonprofit leaders and public health officials who have
97+
ensured and continue to ensure that CTIS responses inform public health
98+
decisions around the globe.
