研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the introduction of an app-based intervention changes knowledge, attitudes, and practices on COVID-19 self-testing.
详细描述
Rapid diagnostic testing has been shown to be an important tool in controlling the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic by identifying people when they are likely to be most contagious and reducing crowding at testing sites. In addition to employer-mandated testing, rapid antigen tests are becoming increasingly used by individuals. A method to promote frequent self-testing would help break the chain of viral transmission, slow the spread of disease, slow the spread of vaccine-resistant variants, and improve pandemic management.
The ubiquity of smartphones along with their data connectivity capabilities and onboard sensors make them an attractive tool to complement rapid diagnostic tests and an important component of decentralized testing. Smartphone-based tools have shown high acceptability among healthcare workers for the real-time tracking of rapid test results.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention (App) Group
Participants in this group will be given access to a COVID-19 self-testing app (SMARTest). Access to the app, given exclusively to this group, will be in addition to the 12 COVID-19 self-test kits participants receive.
干预措施: SMARTest mobile app for COVID-19 self-testing (Behavioral)
Control (No App) Group
Participants in this group will not be given access to the COVID-19 self-testing app (SMARTest). Participants will only receive the 12 COVID-19 self-test kits.
