NHSPI_measure_metadata: 50

Data provided by Big Local News. Data from the National Health Security Preparedness Index. The overall index is useful for examining a state’s readiness in dealing with any number of issues. There also are specific metrics that directly relate to states’ abilities to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. With that in mind, we have pulled out and processed key metrics -- from preparedness for surge testing to evaluating how many people in each state have access to paid time off. Our goal is to make it easier for journalists to access and analyze for their reporting. For more information, please start with the NHSPI_READ_ME file. Questions? Contact biglocalnews@stanford.edu.

M189	Number of annual volunteer hours per state resident, 15 years and older	Community residents who volunteer, like those who vote, have long been associated with more cohesive communities. This measure is another way of indirectly capturing the community-level benefits derived from those who "give back" or volunteer their time.	CPS Volunteer Supplement	Current Population Survey (CPS), Volunteer Supplement data analyzed by PMO personnel.	2012—2015, 2017	Respondents may be inclined to over-report the number of hours they volunteer. Also, certain communities that have strong social cohesion may have a low reported rate, such as settings where both parents work full-time and may not have time to volunteer.
