Residence-based asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 testing

EXPERIMENTAL

The aim of the RB-TPP was to increase and maintain participation of students in regular COVID-19 testing in university residences. The R-TPP was delivered over 4 weeks in April-May 2021 and required asymptomatic students to take a saliva test for COVID-19, twice weekly for four weeks. This was combined with relaxed social restrictions within the residence during the study period (i.e., removing the need for 2 metre distancing between students living in the same residence), surge testing and enhanced support for students who were required to self-isolate (i.e., welfare and financial support).

Interventions

Residence-based testing participation pilot (SARS-CoV-2 testing with relaxed social distancing restrictions) BEHAVIORAL

SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic saliva testing (as available to all students at staff at the participating university) delivered with relaxed social distancing (behavioural element) in two halls of residence.
