Researchers unlock best messages to get kids with disabilities tested for COVID at school

NCT ID NCT04565509

Summary

This study aimed to find the best ways to encourage regular COVID-19 testing for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their teachers to help keep schools safe. Researchers worked with over 1,100 participants from special schools in St. Louis and Baltimore, testing different messages and strategies to see which ones led to more people getting tested. The goal was to understand what helps or prevents families and staff from participating in testing, so better plans could be made for schools across the country.
