Assessing Testing Strategies for Safe Return to K-12 Schools in an Underserved Population

Sex: All

Ages: 0 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: Yes

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 1390

Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine

Summary

The primary goal of this study is to determine the most effective SARS-CoV-2 testing strategy for successful return of in-person school in the under-served communities of St. Louis. Regular screening testing has been recommended by the CDC as an additive mitigation strategy for in-person schools in areas of high community transmission. We will compare the effectiveness and acceptance of two different school-based testing strategies among students and school staff (symptomatic testing only versus weekly surveillance testing plus symptomatic testing), measuring school-based SARS-CoV-2 transmission through a cluster randomized trial.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * A student or staff in one of the five school districts. * Household members of a student or staff member in the five school districts. Exclusion Criteria: * People not affiliated with the school.
