Study Description: San Diego State University (SDSU), a designated Hispanic-serving institution, partnered 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 middle school students and staff as part of broader COVID mitigation strategies including vaccination to return students back to school safely. Specific aims were to: 1) determine if providing free at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen testing kits produces equivalent participation in school screening testing as on-site school testing; 2) evaluate if a family-based model of making testing available to family members enhances participation; 3) study implementation of the program to inform scale-up to additional schools; and 4) identify resources needed to ensure ongoing high participation rates.
