The data were released in December 2022. Although data collected by the OECD reflect the highest standards for international comparison, one limitation is that differences in countries\u2019 methods of collecting health data may be obscured. Full details on how indicators are defined and country-level definitional differences can be obtained from the OECD.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonwealthfund.org\/publications\/issue-briefs\/2023\/jan\/us-health-care-global-perspective-2022#24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">24<\/a><\/sup>\n<h4>2020 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey<\/h4>\nFor the 2020 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey, nationally representative samples of adults age 18 and older were collected from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Surveys in each country were conducted using random-digit dialing based on both landline and mobile telephone sampling designs or, where possible, through address-based sampling frames. In Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, participants were drawn from national population registries. In the U.S., an address-based sampling frame was also used to provide a representative sample. Participants in Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.S. were able to complete the survey by landline, mobile phone, or online. The Commonwealth Fund supported international surveys regularly and, in some countries, supported larger sample sizes to enable equity analysis. Final sample sizes ranged from 607 to 4,530 respondents. The survey research firm SSRS was commissioned to conduct the survey between February and May 2020 in collaboration with country contractors. The field period varied from four to 15 weeks across countries. Response rates ranged from 14% to 49%. Data were weighted by country to account for sampling design and differences in selection probabilities.\n<h4>Our World in Data<\/h4>\nThis analysis used data from Our World in Data, which compiles data from many countries and regions around the world. Data on COVID-19 deaths and COVID-19 vaccination rates were current as of January 2023. One limitation of both datasets is that they report only confirmed deaths and reported vaccination rates; Our World in Data notes that these may underestimate actual totals. Full details about how indicators are defined and country-level data collection differences are available from Our World in Data.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonwealthfund.org\/publications\/issue-briefs\/2023\/jan\/us-health-care-global-perspective-2022#25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25<\/a><\/sup>\n<h3>Limitations of Our Analysis<\/h3>\nThe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, job loss, and delayed or forgone necessary care likely worsened health outcomes.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonwealthfund.org\/publications\/issue-briefs\/2023\/jan\/us-health-care-global-perspective-2022#26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26<\/a><\/sup> Therefore, some country-level analyses should be interpreted cautiously, because data for 2020 and afterward are not available for every country or every metric. As businesses and health facilities reopened and returned to pre-COVID operating levels, the global health burdens experienced during the pandemic may continue. Another limitation of our study is that the data were not broken down by race and ethnicity. Studies have shown that Black and Latino Americans have significant health disparities within the U.S.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonwealthfund.org\/publications\/issue-briefs\/2023\/jan\/us-health-care-global-perspective-2022#27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">27<\/a><\/sup> To compare only countries is not enough; to understand health outcomes among vulnerable and historically marginalized populations worldwide, data collection efforts broken down by race and ethnicity are needed.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"end-of-page-body-copy__content\">\n<div class=\"two-columns\">\n<div class=\"two-columns__siderail\"><span class=\"end-of-page-body-copy__heading\">Notes<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"two-columns__body\">\n<div class=\"article-body article-body--default article-body--navy-blue\">\n<div class=\"article-body__content article-body__content--notes\">\n<ol>\n \t<li><a id=\"1\" name=\"1\"><\/a>Roosa Tikkanen and Melinda K.
