简要总结
The BEready project aims to find out how people in the Canton of Bern can be helped to be more prepared for the next pandemic. BEready wants to understand how infections spread among people as well as between people and animals. BEready wants to find out how social and environmental factors can influence the transmission or catching of infectious diseases. BEready wants to better understand how households and their pets in the Canton of Bern were and continue to be affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
详细描述
The overall aim is to establish BEready as a 'pandemic preparedness cohort', a cohort with a well-characterised study population of households, which has an infrastructure to conduct studies about infectious diseases, and which can be rapidly mobilised to respond to a new pandemic. BEready aims to understand the epidemiology and transmission of infectious diseases (particularly viral respiratory pathogens) in households including pets in the canton of Bern, and to engage diverse communities in efforts to strengthen pandemic preparedness.
The objectives are:
- to study the distribution and timing of infectious diseases and transmission patterns of circulating infectious diseases, both between individuals and at the human-animal interface (One Health)
- to study social (e.g. gender, affective polarisation) and environmental factors (e.g. climate change), which may affect transmission or acquisition of infectious diseases;
- to understand how households, including their pets, in the canton of Bern have been and will be affected by COVID-19; and
- to engage diverse communities in ongoing efforts to strengthen pandemic and public health literacy, and to prepare for the public health response to a new pandemic.

结局指标
主要结局
Response rate among the randomly sampled participants
时间窗: Baseline
Percentage agreeing to take part, divided by the number invited, by age and sex (study level)
Attendance of follow up visits (to derive factors associated with research participation)
时间窗: At every annual follow-up for up to 100 years
Percentage of completed questionnaire (study level)
Incidence of respiratory virus detection in symptomatic persons
时间窗: At the end of a 12 months period
Test positivity: percentage of nasal swab samples with a positive result for specific respiratory viruses among all viruses detected amongst those reporting disease events cumulatively by the end of one year; incidence rate for any detected virus and for specific viruses: number of nasal swab samples with a positive result per 100 person years of follow-up (individual level, infection-related)
Seroprevalence of antibodies to respiratory viruses
时间窗: At baseline and annually thereafter for up to 100 years
Proportion of serum samples with antibodies to specific respiratory viruses (individual level, infection-related)
Incidence of co-infection/co-colonisation at the pet/owner interface
时间窗: Throughout follow-up for up to 100 years
Proportion of serum samples with antibodies to specific parasites (individual level, infection-related)
Incidence of animal diseases diagnosed through syndromic surveillance
时间窗: Throughout follow-up for up to 100 years
Based on each case definition, e.g. febrile illness, incidence of syndromic diagnoses by month (individual level, infection-related)
Prevalence of post-acute viral symptoms
时间窗: At baseline and annually thereafter for up to 100 years
Individual level, infection-related
Gender roles
时间窗: At all timepoints for up to 100 years
Gender is a cross-cutting theme. Associations with gender measured by questionnaire will be examined for all endpoints (individual level, personal, social, demographic).
Knowledge of vector-borne diseases
时间窗: At baseline
Knowledge measured by questionnaire. Summary of the survey data (individual level, personal, social, demographic)
Number of daily social contacts
时间窗: At baseline and annually thereafter for up to 100 years
Numbers of social contacts between humans, according to age group and location (individual level, personal, social, demographic)
Affective polarisation
时间窗: At baseline
Mean and standard deviation of Likert scale scores (individual level, personal, social, demographic)
Knowledge of pandemic preparedness
时间窗: At baseline
Knowledge measured by questionnaire. Summary of the survey data (individual level, personal, social, demographic)
Experienced marginalisation
时间窗: At baseline
Experience measured by questionnaire. Summary of the survey data (individual level, personal, social, demographic)
