Rapid Turnaround, Home-based Saliva Testing for COVID-19
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility and validity of a saliva based home surveillance monitoring test for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Participants will be asked to carry out as many tests as are included in the bag they are provided, on a daily basis until they are used up.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- An indicator for discrepancy in interpretation of findings by participant versus by technician via photo (interrater reliability) [Up to 5 days per participant]
Primary Feasibility Outcome
- An indicator for whether the home saliva test is positive as determined by the patient (to assess sensitivity and specificity by the patient) [Up to 5 days per participant]
Primary Validity Outcome
Secondary Outcome Measures
- An indicator for ambiguous findings as measured by percent confidence (if < 80% confident) in interpretation of results by participant and by technician (ease of interpretation) [Up to 5 days per participant]
Secondary Feasibility Outcome
- An indicator that the participant appropriately followed instructions for using the kit (≥ 80% confident) (ease of use) [Up to 5 days per participant]
Secondary Feasibility Outcome
- An indicator for whether participant called technical support and by reason (e.g., processing was not possible due to broken part) (ease of use) [Up to 5 days per participant]
Secondary Feasibility Outcome
- An indicator by participant that the sample was sufficient and reached the indicated line for sample integrity (sample integrity) [Up to 5 days per participant]
Secondary Feasibility Outcome
- An indicator for whether the home saliva test is positive as determined by the technician (to assess sensitivity and specificity by the technician) [Up to 5 days per participant]
Secondary Validity Outcome
