Detailed Description
This observational, cohort sub-study is embedded within a larger public health intervention that distributes at-home, self-administered, SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing kits to households within pre-selected communities through the CCPH. Within this sub-study, we will evaluate the socio-behavioral mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 community transmission, including social interactions, health behaviors, healthcare utilization, knowledge, disease burden, and feasibility of at-home testing. Our central hypothesis is that focused community intervention will reduce COVID-19 transmission. Our secondary hypothesis is that this intervention will increase vaccine uptake. Surveys and questionnaires will be completed by participants via a QR code from the test kits that directs participants to a link. Questionnaires will collect data on demographic characteristics, medical history and health status, COVID testing and symptoms, social interactions, knowledge of prevention strategies, infection risk, and attitudes towards vaccines.
