Study Summary
Widespread testing and contact tracing are critical to controlling the COVID-19 epidemic. Distribution of COVID-19 self-test kits can augment public health contact tracing efforts, as individuals with COVID-19 can distribute self-testing to close contacts. This approach can increase case detection by facilitating testing among exposed individuals, and potentially ameliorate stigma, fear, and medical mistrust associated with COVID-19 among vulnerable populations. The central hypothesis of this study is that distribution of SARS-CoV-2 self-tests to close contacts of among individuals with COVID-19 infection can increase case detection compared with a standard contact referral strategy.
Primary Outcome
Number of close contacts who test positive for COVID-19
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL COVID-19 self-test
- BEHAVIORAL COVID-19 test referral
