COVID-19 Pandemic: A Dataset from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

All the questions in the questionnaire were mandatory and the respondents could not send their responses by skipping any of them, so there is no missing value in the dataset. A total of 501 responses were received out of which 208 were females. For the convenience of the participants, every question in the questionnaire was translated into the Urdu language.

All the responses were automatically saved online into a .xlsx spreadsheet and later that data was converted to digitized form by developing a coding frame. There are two main sections in this dataset, first is about the socio-demographic information (gender, age, marital status, employment status, area of residence and education) of the participants and the second demonstrates the fear, mental health, preventive behaviour, and anxiety while in the second section, the responses were rated on Likert scale.

This dataset could be beneficial to the researchers and policymakers as they can get further insight to develop better skills and practices from a rapidly evolving situation.
