Therefore, this study explored changing patterns adversity relating to COVID-19 by socioeconomic position (SEP) during early weeks lockdown UK. Methods were from 12 527 UK adults University College London Social Study (a panel involves online weekly collection participants pandemic). We analysed collected 25 March 14 April 2020. The sample was well-stratified weighted population proportions gender, age, ethnicity, education country living. used Poisson logit models assess 10 different adverse experiences depending an index SEP over time. Results There a clear gradient across number events experienced each week SEP. This most clearly seen finances (including loss employment cut income) basic needs access food medications) less directly virus.
