探讨在大学校园内使用唾液采样进行PCR分析进行SARS-CoV-2定期无症状检测的可接受性以及参与的障碍和促进因素。横断面调查和定性半结构化访谈。苏格兰爱丁堡已登记参加测试方案（TestEd）并提供至少一个样本的大学工作人员和学生。522名参与者于2021年4月完成了试点调查，1750名参与者完成了主要调查（2021年11月）。48名同意接受访谈的师生参加了质性研究。参与者对他们的TestEd体验持积极态度，94%的人将其描述为“优秀”或“良好”。参与的促进因素包括校园内的多个测试地点，与鼻咽拭子相比提供唾液样本的容易性，与侧流设备（LFD）相比的感知准确性以及在校园内工作或学习时测试可用性的保证。障碍包括对测试时隐私的担忧，与LFD相比接收结果的时间和方法，以及对大学社区吸收不足的担忧。在COVID-19限制措施实施期间，几乎没有证据表明校园测试的可用性改变了参与者的行为。在大学校园提供免费的无症状COVID-19检测受到了参与者的欢迎，并且使用唾液PCR检测被认为比LFD更舒适和准确。方便是参与定期无症状检测方案的关键因素。检测的可用性似乎并没有破坏对公共卫生准则的参与。
To explore the acceptability of regular asymptomatic testing for SARS-CoV-2 on a university campus using saliva sampling for PCR analysis and the barriers and facilitators to participation. Cross-sectional surveys and qualitative semistructured interviews. Edinburgh, Scotland. University staff and students who had registered for the testing programme (TestEd) and provided at least one sample. 522 participants completed a pilot survey in April 2021 and 1750 completed the main survey (November 2021). 48 staff and students who consented to be contacted for interview took part in the qualitative research. Participants were positive about their experience with TestEd with 94% describing it as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’. Facilitators to participation included multiple testing sites on campus, ease of providing saliva samples compared with nasopharyngeal swabs, perceived accuracy compared with lateral flow devices (LFDs) and reassurance of test availability while working or studying on campus. Barriers included concerns about privacy while testing, time to and methods of receiving results compared with LFDs and concerns about insufficient uptake in the university community. There was little evidence that the availability of testing on campus changed the behaviour of participants during a period when COVID-19 restrictions were in place. The provision of free asymptomatic testing for COVID-19 on a university campus was welcomed by participants and the use of saliva-based PCR testing was regarded as more comfortable and accurate than LFDs. Convenience is a key facilitator of participation in regular asymptomatic testing programmes. Availability of testing did not appear to undermine engagement with public health guidelines.
