大学生有独特的生活、学习和社会安排，这可能会对传染病的传播产生影响。为了解决这一数据差距，我们创建了Conquest(冠状病毒问卷)，这是一项针对布里斯托尔大学(UOB)教职员工/学生的接触、行为和新冠肺炎症状的纵向在线调查。在这里，我们分析了来自740名学生的结果，这些学生提供了2020/2021学年开始(14/09/2020-01/11/2020)的1261条独特记录，在这一年里，新冠肺炎的爆发导致了一些宿舍里所有学生的自我隔离。尽管大多数学生报告的日常接触比新冠肺炎学习前少，但也存在异质性，一些人报告了很多(中位数 = 2，平均 = 6.1，标准差 = 15.0；8%有 ≥ 20接触者)。大约40%的学生接触的是大学以外的个人，这表明有可能传播给非学生/教职员工。在过去一周报告主要症状的人中，只有61%是自我隔离的，尽管99%的人在调查完成前两周内新冠肺炎检测呈阳性的人在最后一周内自我隔离。一些自我隔离的学生接触者较多(平均 = 为4.3，标准差 = 为10.6)。我们的结果为大学中看到的新冠肺炎疫情提供了背景，并可用于对未来疫情进行建模和为政策提供信息。
University students have unique living, learning and social arrangements which may have implications for infectious disease transmission. To address this data gap, we created CONQUEST (COroNavirus QUESTionnaire), a longitudinal online survey of contacts, behaviour, and COVID-19 symptoms for University of Bristol (UoB) staff/students. Here, we analyse results from 740 students providing 1261 unique records from the start of the 2020/2021 academic year (14/09/2020–01/11/2020), where COVID-19 outbreaks led to the self-isolation of all students in some halls of residences. Although most students reported lower daily contacts than in pre-COVID-19 studies, there was heterogeneity, with some reporting many (median = 2, mean = 6.1, standard deviation = 15.0; 8% had ≥ 20 contacts). Around 40% of students’ contacts were with individuals external to the university, indicating potential for transmission to non-students/staff. Only 61% of those reporting cardinal symptoms in the past week self-isolated, although 99% with a positive COVID-19 test during the 2 weeks before survey completion had self-isolated within the last week. Some students who self-isolated had many contacts (mean = 4.3, standard deviation = 10.6). Our results provide context to the COVID-19 outbreaks seen in universities and are available for modelling future outbreaks and informing policy.
