Recent Events Flash Study Wave 4 - Release Notes - Mid June 2020

Wave 4 of our Recent Events Flash Study is similar to the previous wave with a focus on sentiment as the country re-opens.

*You may notice the name change from Coronavirus Flash Wave 4 to Recent Events – this change reflects the addition of survey questions around recent events in this wave, which we will continue going forward.

It was fielded from June 8 - June 14, 2020 of 4,000 U.S. consumers on a Coronavirus-specific set of questions to reveal consumer impact on spend propensities, trends, and sentiment and also includes some insights on the recent Social Justice protests.

We'll be publishing an updated PDF guide for Wave 4 that shows all questions and answers.  Here's a list of Flash Attributes that are new in Wave 4.
