The data documents ASHAs' experiences acting as frontline healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including their perceptions of risks, challenges, and professional responsibilities. The data also documents rural women's experiences of managing their households, caring for children, and navigating the challenges that they faced during this highly uncertain time. Respondents were identified through snowball sampling, and all interviews were conducted through telephone conversations due to pandemic-related travel restrictions. Methods and questionnaires Our data collection was guided by two sets of questions: - The “General” Covid-19 questionnaire includes questions about household labor roles, livelihoods, care for children, and emotional experiences navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic. - The “Community health worker” (ASHA) questionnaire includes questions for community health care workers, their roles and responsibilities, and experiences as frontline healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interviews: All interviews were conducted over the phone due to pandemic-related travel restrictions. The questionnaires identified main topics for discussion, however the interviews were semi-structured. We allowed the respondent to share their thoughts and experiences of their own choosing and to direct the conversation where they wanted to take it. We conducted additional follow-up interviews where the respondents agreed to do so. Sampling: Respondents were contacted through snowball sampling. Initial contacts were made through an NGO in the Sirmaur District as well as through field staff employed on the research project, "Institutional Networks and Self-Organized Adaptation". After making initial contact with several respondents, they were able to suggest others to speak with from the area. The sample is thus non-random. We spoke with whomever we were able to get in contact with and who was willing to spend time speaking with us over the phone. Datasetet består av intervjuer med vårdpersonal (s.k. ASHAs) och kvinnor på landsbygden i Sirmaurdistriktet i Himachal Pradesh, Indien. Intervjuerna dokumenterar ASHA-arbetarnas upplevelser under COVID-19-pandemin, bland annat deras upplevelser av risk, utmaningar och ansvar under pandemin. Intervjuerna med kvinnor på landsbygden i samma region beskriver deras upplevelser av att hantera hushåll, barn och andra utmaningar under pandemin. Respondenterna valdes genom snöbollsmetoden och intervjuerna utfördes över telefon p.g.a. pandemirelaterade reserestriktioner.
