Testing for COVID-19 in High Risk Children With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (COV-IDD)

"Participating individuals (students and employees) will be tested for COVID-19 (RT-PCR) using a specimen collected using a mid-turbinate swab.~This asymptomatic testing regime starts on or after (if scheduling testing requires this to begin on a different day) enrollment and is repeated every 5-14 days for up to 16 months . Anyone testing positive is followed up as described below for symptomatic individuals.~Those presenting with symptoms will be also tested for COVID-19 (RT-PCR). Those with negative test results will return to the asymptomatic testing protocol.~Students who test positive are retested then 3 days until two negative tests. Employees who test positive also be tested every 3 days until two negative tests."

Utilizing information from focus groups, the investigators will develop and deploy an educational campaign aimed at improving vaccine hesitancy and student health
