Conditions

COVID-19, SARS-CoV 2

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to identify healthcare workers with SARS CoV 2 antibodies who have not been previously diagnosed and are presumed COVID-19 negative, then determine the level of immunity in this population which could inform further decisions about widespread antibody testing in a healthcare worker population.

Detailed description

Enrolled participants will complete a survey gauging their level of confidence they will be antibody positive. Participants will then complete serologic testing for SARS CoV 2 IgG antibodies. The study will characterize the prevalence of antibody positivity in this population and assess whether there is a correlation between a pre-test confidence level using a Likert scale and actual antibody positivity.

Ability to Predict Immune Status/Antibody Positivity

Survey of participants to gauge their confidence they will be antibody positive

Time frame: Single point in time prior to COVID-19 Antibody testing

Population: Of 292 participants completing the study, 27 responded in a survey (prior to antibody testing) that they had a high confidence (8 or greater on a Likert Scale from 0-10) that they had been previously infected with SARS CoV-2 and would test COVID-19 antibody positive. Antibody results from those 27 participants are listed below.
