The outbreak of COVID-19 hit SHARE in the middle of its 8th Wave of data collection and the fieldwork had to be suspended in all participating countries in March 2020. At this point in time, about 70 percent of all expected interviews in the panel sample and 50 percent of all expected refreshment sample interviews across countries had been conducted. To resume fieldwork, a switch to telephone administered interviews (CATI) was decided and a specific questionnaire was developed covering the same topics as the regular SHARE questionnaire - but considerably shortened and targeted to the COVID-19 living situation of people who are 50 years and older. Based on methodological considerations in connection with the health protection of respondents and interviewers, the use of CATI was the preferred alternative to the previous face-to-face-interviewing.
