COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring in Canada (COSMO Canada): Monitoring Citizens’ Perceptions, Knowledge, and Behaviours relating to the Pandemic (Part II)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
From April 2020 to December 2021, Privy Council Office (PCO) led the implementation of the COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO) Study Phase 1 which longitudinally captured respondents’ perceptions, knowledge, and behaviours in response to the pandemic. The COSMO Study Phase 1 was founded on a comprehensive survey developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), released to assist countries in quickly establishing a data collection mechanism to track the evolving response context related to COVID-19 at the citizen-level. It has enabled PCO to contribute evidence-based, behaviourally-informed insights and recommendations to public communication materials, policy and programmatic considerations, and whole-of-government decision-making related to the Government of Canada’s broader response effort. The first phase of the study collected data across sixteen waves spanning April 2020 to November 2021. This protocol details the COSMO Study’s second Phase, which will continue to monitor the evolving pandemic response context with a new sample of Canadians (including a flexible oversample of diverse sub-segments of the population) and a restructured survey body exploring new thematic areas related to reintegration and recovery.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
