Group Design

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Infectious Disease Control
Epidemiology

Background:

In-school COVID-19 testing is a critical mitigation strategy.
Current guidance accepts both nasal and saliva samples but lacks preference information.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate student and staff preference between self-collected nasal and saliva COVID-19 testing methods.
To inform school testing program strategies.

Main Methods:

A randomized, crossover study was conducted in K-12 schools.
Participants (students and staff) completed both nasal and saliva self-collection tests.
A questionnaire assessed preference and reasons for preference.

Main Results:

The anterior nasal swab was preferred by most participants (83% of staff and older students).
Elementary students showed mixed preference (51% preferred saliva).
Ease and speed were cited for nasal preference; ease and fun for saliva.

Conclusions:

Anterior nasal testing is the preferred method for most students and staff.
Preference varies by age group, with younger children showing more interest in saliva tests.
High willingness to repeat both test types suggests feasibility for school programs.
