简要总结
San Diego State University (SDSU), a designated Hispanic-serving institution, is partnering with Sweetwater Union High School District, an independent public school district serving 90% ethnic minority and a high proportion of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, and other community partners, to generate evidence for effective and feasible COVID-19 testing for unvaccinated and medically vulnerable middle school students and staff as part of broader COVID mitigation strategies including vaccination to return students back to school safely.
详细描述
Equitable access to coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) screening is important to reduce transmission and maintain in-person learning for middle school communities, particularly in disadvantaged schools. Rapid antigen testing, and at-home testing in particular, could offer substantial advantages over onsite testing from a school district's perspective, but it is unknown if engagement in at-home testing can be initiated and sustained. The investigators hypothesized that an at-home COVID-19 school testing program would be non-inferior to an onsite school COVID-19 testing program with regard to school participation rates and adherence to a weekly screening testing schedule. The study enrolled 3 middle schools within a large, predominantly Latinx-serving, independent school district into a noninferiority trial from October 2021 to March 2022. Two schools were randomized to onsite and 1 school to at-home COVID-19 testing programs. All students and staff were eligible to participate.
